Ahead of the launch of Toofaan on Amazon Prime Video, the toofaani team – Farhan Akhtar, Mrunal Thakur, and Rakesh Omprakash Mehra – today visited Pink city of India Jaipur, via a unique virtual city tour. The first of its kind virtual tour which covers multiple cities across India will see the team interact with media, fans, and local heroes from various states.
Lead actor and co-producer Farhan Akhtar, excited about his virtual city visits for Toofaan, says, “Jaipur, like every other city, it is a land of great culture and inspiring stories. It is home to some iconic sports personalities in the country and is making us proud of their contribution. As a producer and actor, I am thrilled to have gotten a chance to interact with the local media in Jaipur and give an insight into the powerful and inspirational story of Torfaen.
Director Rakesh Omprakash Mehra adds, “The crowd in Jaipur is quite welcoming. I absolutely admire the humble and polite nature of people out here. I am hoping they continue to shower their love and blessings for Toofaan as well.” He adds, “Toofaan’s story at its core is about all the challenges one goes through and how one should never give up.
Presented by Amazon Prime Video in association with Excel Entertainment and ROMP Pictures, Toofaan is an inspiring sports drama produced by Ritesh Sidhwani, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, and Farhan Akhtar.
Toofaan will also be the first film to simultaneously premiere on Amazon Prime Video in Hindi and English starting July 16, 2021, across 240 countries and territories.
