Actor Farhan Akhtar underwent extensive training for his role in the upcoming sports drama "Toofaan", and his co-star Mrunal Thakur is really impressed by him. "I am blessed to work with him. I learnt a lot from him...it feels good to work with such a fantastic actor at the initial stage of your career.
