When the promotional pictures of 'Toofan' were released last year, fans were astonished to see Farhan Akhtar's incredibly ripped physique. However, this was not Farhan's first rodeo, he previously attained a chiseled physique to portray the role of Milkha Singh. Now for 'Toofan', Farhan had to achieve more than one looks. He had to gain 15 kgs to portray the character as an overweight and then shed down 10 kgs to play the boxer.

Recently, Farhan shared a side by side comparison of his different body shapes throughout the production of 'Toofan' and it goes on to show how hard he worked to look convincing. He captioned the post as, "The many shapes and sizes of Ajju aka Aziz aka Toofaan. What a ride. 18 months of relentless work but worth every drop of sweat, every sore muscle and every pound gained and lost."

This is Farhan Akhtar's second film with director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. The duo previously worked on 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag'. Their partnership could've started a lot earlier if Farhan had accepted a role offered by Rakeysh in 'Rang De Basanti'.
