In 2013, Farhan Akhtar and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra worked together and presented the heartwarming journey of athlete Milkha Singh in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. And now the duo is all set to reunite for another sports film. Unlike the first, this time film will be centered around boxing.
Titled Toofan, it will be produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under their banner Excel Entertainment.
Farhan took to Twitter and shared the news:
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

Farhan will need to undergo extensive prep to essay the character of the boxer. The film is expected to go on floor this year.
Well, it is great to have the duo come up with another amazing film.
On the work front, Farhan is currently busy shooting Shonali Bose’s The Sky Is Pink with Priyanka Chopra.
