Farhan Akhtar's body transformation for Toofaan has floored his Dil Dhadakne Do co-star Hrithik Roshan. It is said that the actor put on 15 kgs in 6 weeks for one of his looks in the sports drama.

Hyderabad: Bollywood actor Farhan Akhtar has shared pictures depicting his transformation journey for Toofaan. The actor, who is known for getting into rigorous prep for his roles, is said to be putting on 15 kgs in 6 weeks for one of his looks in the sports drama. Farhan's body transformation for Toofaan had left late Milkha Singh impressed when film's teaser dropped in March. Now Hrithik Roshan is floored as Farhan dropped a collage revealing kilos of weight he shed and gained for the role.

On Monday, Farhan took to Instagram to share a collage of three pictures which reveals he went 85 kg from 69.8 kg and then again lost weight before he settled for 76.9 kg to depict different phases of Aziz Ali's life in the film. Sharing the image Farhan wrote, "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. ✊🏽 The stars behind the scenes - @samir_jaura @drewnealpt @anand.physio 👊🏽❤️."

Lauding Farhan for pulling off the transformation, Hrithik wrote, "Man ! 69 to 85 ?! That’s insane." Farhan's post has also garnered praise from Gully Boy star Siddhant Chaturvedi.

Earlier, speaking about the transformation journey, Farhan had said, "It was a challenge for me to adapt to a way of living that was completely contrary - with monitored exercise regime, less physical activity and high consumption of fats, carbs, starch. It was tough. Although I balanced consumption of fried food, the starch and fats made up for it and here you go, that's how I gained an extra 15 kilos!."

Fitness trainer Samir Jaura, who has been training Akhtar for all his films for the past 17 years, in an interview has said that whenever the latter gets into his work zone, he gives everything. "I have known him for almost two decades now, but the fire and passion he exhibits towards his training and work is still intact."

Streaming on Amazon Prime, Toofaan features Farhan as Aziz Ali, a goon from Dongri who finds success as a boxer, only to lose it all after a mistake. The film creates drama as Aziz tries to make a comeback against all odds. Mrunal Thakur playing Farhan's love interest and Paresh Rawal as Aziz's coach.
