Toofaan has opted for a digital premiere on Amazon Prime Video on July 16. Fun fact – Did you know that Farhan had to gain 15 kilos within 6 weeks for this role? Damn.
“It was a challenge for me to adapt to a way of living that was completely contrary – with monitored exercise regime, less physical activity and high consumption of fats, carbs, starch. It was tough. Although I balanced consumption of fried food, the starch and fats made up for it and here you go, that’s how I gained an extra 15 kilos!” he told the media.
