Farhan’s top fan
Farhan Akhtar a role in ‘
Rang De Basanti’ because I have always seen an actor in him
Farhan Akhtar has once again undergone a massive physical transformation to essay the role of a boxer in ‘
Toofaan’ and his impressive feat is being lauded by fans. Director
Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and producer
Ritesh Sidhwani talk about the star and their project. Excerpts:
When Toofaan was conceptualised, was
Farhan Akhtar the first choice to play Aziz?
ROM: We had done ‘
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ together, which gave us a lot of recognition, critical acclaim, and box office success. Post that, there was always a hunger to collaborate again. So, for the next couple of years, we discussed ideas, and then one day I got a call from Farhan who told me this story of Toofaan, and it’s an amazing character. The idea germinated from Farhan and the writers sprinkled gold dust all over it.
