Recently, Farhan opened up about the struggle behind the training he underwent for his role of a boxer in the upcoming film "Toofan". He posted a picture on Instagram, where he is seen practicing the sport. He spoke about how he became more disciplined thanks to the preparation sessions of the film.

"I hated drills. To wake up at 5 am and think about that monster of a drill session waiting for me was, at times, a good enough reason to make some random excuse and just stay in bed..!! But @drewnealpt got me to respect the discipline and with time I realized how much it helped in evolving my overall skills as a boxer. To quote the legendary Cus D'amato "Discipline is doing what you hate but doing it as you love it." I guess that's the mantra for improvement in any aspect of life, right? Thank you for the valuable lesson @drewnealpt @samir_jaura @darrellfoster #ToofaanUthega #21st May #ToofaanOnPrime" he wrote.
