After delivering us the inspiring story of athlete Milkha Singh through Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and actor Farhan Akhtar are collaborating again for the sports drama titled Toofan. The makers announced this venture in January this year. While the film is expected to go on floors soon, Farhan Akhtar, who is playing the role of a boxer in the film has started the prepping for his character with former world kickboxing champion Drew Neal. The actor shared a clip from the training session and captioned it, "It s not just about strength but speed as well #ToofanInTheMaking @drewnealpt ?@samir_jaura ?? @rakeyshommehra @ritesh_sid".
Thrilled to share that 6 years after Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, @RakeyshOmMehra and I are reuniting to create #Toofan .. a heartfelt story of a boxer.
Hope for your best wishes as we embark on this new journey. Love@ritesh_sid @excelmovies @ROMPPictures pic.twitter.com/wvWvWIvNj9

As per Mumbai Mirror report, the film is not a biopic, confirmed a source earlier. "It s not a biopic. It is a fictional story scripted by Anjum Rajabali. Farhan fell in love with it as soon as he heard it. Rakeysh has already started the prep and Farhan will be training extensively in boxing. He is looking forward to working with Rakeysh again. The film should roll this year."
