Paresh Rawal joins Farhan Akhtar’s Toofan

“Thrilled and privileged to collaborate with an absolute giant of an actor. So looking forward @SirPareshRawal #Toofan” the actor tweeted.

The film is being directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and will feature Akhtar in the role of a boxer.

This will be the actor-director duo’s second project post Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, a 2013 biopic on legendary Indian athlete Milkha Singh.

Details are currently sparse but reports say that Rawal will play a boxing coach in the film.

The project will be co-produced by Excel Entertainment and ROMP Pictures.

Rawal most recently featured in Uri: The Surgical Strike, alongside Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam.
