If there was anyone who would do justice to a role like Ajju Bhai aka Aziz Ali, it is none other than Farhan Akhtar. Farhan says in the video, “We didn’t train for a film, we trained to be a boxer!” The actor, not only learnt how to land a perfect punch, but also took some brutal hits in the process without any stunt doubles.
