Recently in an interview with Hindustan Times, Ranveer Singh had opened up about his character. “Jayeshbhai is an unlikely hero, an ordinary man, who ends up doing something extraordinary when he’s hurled into a threatening situation. He is sensitive and compassionate, and believes in equal rights between men and women in a society that is deeply rooted in patriarchal ideals and practices,” he said.
The film will be directed by Divyang Thakkar and will also star Shalini Pandey, Aparshakti Khurrana, Boman Irani and Ratna Pathak Shah in pivotal roles.
Toofaan on the other hand, will be Farhan Akhtar's collaboration with Bhaag Milkha Bhaag director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. Mrunal Thakur will be playing the lead role opposite Farhan Akhtar.
