Bollywood actor Farhan Akhtar’s upcoming movie, ‘Toofaan’, may have garnered a lot of positive buzz ever since its trailer released, but as the date of release approaches, the film seems to be getting into one controversy after another.
Just recently, there was a strong demand for boycotting the film because of leading man Farhan Akhtar’s comments in the past pertaining to the Citizenship Amendment Act. And now, a section of people on the internet, especially Twitter, are asking for it to be boycotted because the film allegedly promotes ‘Love Jihad’. It all started when the names of the central characters were revealed to the public. ‘Toofaan’ sees Akhtar taking on the role of Aziz Ali who falls in love with a character named Pooja Shah (played by Mrunal Thakur). The film also stars veteran actor Paresh Rawal as Ali’s coach. Directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, ‘Toofaan’ releases on Amazon Prime Video on July 16.
