Talking about the preparations Farhan Akhtar had to do for the role, his coach Drew Neal said, "Farhan was training two hours every single day. The speed that he was learning at was probably four-folds of what a normal beginner boxer would actually take. So, instead of one year's training, he was hitting more like four years' training." Farhan was initially trained by Drew and then was handed over to Darrell for the training camp, and post that the shoot began in August 2019.
Farhan Akhtar's Toofaan has been one of the most anticipated movies. The film has been shot across Mumbai at real locations like the Dongri slums and the Gateway of India. Apart from the two actors, the movie feature stars like Paresh Rawal, Supriya Pathak Kapur, Hussain Dalal, Mohan Agashe, and Darshan Kumaar.
