The makers of the upcoming sports drama 'Toofaan', starring Farhan Akhtar, announced that the film will be released on Amazon Prime Video on July 16. The release of the movie, directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, was deferred amid the surge in the Covid-19 cases in the country. It was previously scheduled to start streaming on Amazon from May 21.


'Toofaan' stars Farhan Akhtar in the lead role along with Mrunal Thakur, Paresh Rawal, Supriya Pathak Kapur, Hussain Dalal, Dr. Mohan Agashe, Darshan Kumaar and Vijay Raaz. This motivational story revolves around the life of Ajju an orphan boy born in Mumbai’s Dongri who grows up to be a local goon. His life changes when he meets a bright and compassionate young woman Ananya, whose belief in him motivates him to find his passion as he embarks on his journey to becoming Aziz Ali, a boxing champion.
