Actor Farhan Akhtar took social media by storm when he posted the first look of his forthcoming film "Toofan", directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.

In the photo, he is seen standing in a boxing ring flaunting his biceps. He captioned it: "Toofan Uthega! First look! #TOOFAN releasing 2nd October 2020!"

While actor Pulkit Samrat called it "ZABARDASTTTTTT", filmmaker Mohit Suri found it a "knockout" look.

Farhan's girlfriend Shibani Dandekar was all heart for him.

Farhan has joined hands with Mehra after six years for "Toofan" in which he will be seen playing a boxer. The two last collaborated together for "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag", a biopic on the legendary athlete Milkha Singh.

A few months ago, the actor had also shared a video of himself in which he was seen boxing. "Slow. Speed. Slow. Power. Slow. Speed. Burn baby burn. ‘Toofan' in the making," he had captioned the video.
