For this film, Farhan underwent major physical training to get into the nerves of his character in Toofaan. He said in a statement earlier, “Putting this level of effort is only possible, if the story motivates you to give your best. At the end of the day, we’re not making a film to showcase a great physique, but to emotionally engage the audience with the journey of the character. To make that experience believable, all efforts are worth it.”
