Farhan Akhtar's sports flick has been in the news for a while now. The movie like many others has been delayed due to the ongoing pandemic. However, the makers have finally announced the release date for the same as July 16, 2021. It will be skipping theatrical release and heading straight to OTT. Amazon Prime is the chosen partner for the movie.
Akhtar took to his social media to announce the new streaming date for the movie. It was earlier to make it to Amazon Prime Video in the month of May. However, the makers decided to postpone the same in the wake of the deadly second wave that had gripped the nation.
Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and produced by Excel Entertainment (Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar) and ROMP Pictures (Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra), Toofaan is poised to be the biggest sports drama of the year.
After the successful collaboration of Farhan Akhtar and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, the dynamic duo return to pack a punch with Toofaan. This motivational story revolves around the life of Ajju an orphan boy born in Mumbai’s Dongri who grows up to be a local goon. His life changes when he meets a bright and compassionate young woman Ananya, whose belief in him motivates him to find his passion as he embarks on his journey to becoming Aziz Ali, a boxing champion.
Toofaan brings alive the exhilarating nature of boxing as a sport, while narrating a riveting tale that follows the journey of a common man as he navigates through the ups and downs of life to achieve his dreams. It is a story about resilience, passion and perseverance, and the drive to succeed.
