Farhan gave credit for his physical transformation to trainers Samir Jaura and Drew Neal. According to the actor, they were the stars behind the scenes. “What you see in Toofaan is the collective result of this core group… I couldn’t have done it without you. From the motivation to push punishment to pampering, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
