Farhan Akhtar versus Farhadh Faasil with Toofaan and Malik releasing on the same day

Two intense, too intense, leading men vie for the OTT space this week. Farhan Akhtar and Fahadh Faasil are separated by several cultural factors. But when it comes to cinema they are both joined at the hip. Here are 5 factors that unite the two fabulous actors.

Farhan and Fahadh gained oodles of weight to look their parts in Toofaan and Malik. Farhan had to look like a boxer gone to seed with a potbelly while Fahadh undergoes a number of physical transformations as his character ages from his 20s to his 60s.
