Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to make her singing debut with ‘Fanney Khan’

After working together in ‘Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai’ and ‘Taal’, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anil Kapoor are all ready to reunite on big screen after a gap of almost 17 years, with their upcoming film ‘Fanney Khan’. The latest report on the movie suggests that the prep work for the film will be kickstarting in mid-July and the film will go on floors in August. Currently, the actress is in New York with husband Abhishek Bachchan and daughter Aaradhya Bachchan and will immediately start working on this project after she returns.

The co-producer of ‘Fanney Khan’, Prernaa Arora spoke to a tabloid, “The team starts building the set in Mumbai next month and Anil will kick off shooting in the first week of August. Aishwarya joins him by the month-end and the film will wrap up in a start-to-finish schedule by October.” [sic] (Also Check: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Aaradhya are having a great time swinging)

“Ash was blown away by her glamorous and ‘highly stylised’ character. We took the script to her two months ago and she immediately gave her nod,” added Prernaa when asked about Aishwarya’s role. [sic]

A few days back, both Anil and Aishwarya had their first reading together and Prernaa added saying that their ‘combined energy is unparalled’. She said, “Almost all of Ash’s scenes are with Anil. Her character is the complete opposite of her serious turns in ‘Jazbaa’ and ‘Sarbjit’. In our film she is the spunky, enchanting female protagonist.” [sic]

It is also said that with ‘Fanney Khan’, Aishwarya will be making her singing debut and croon a single.  Anil Kapoor will churn out multiple songs in it as well. Prernaa concluded on a mysterious note, “Everyone will be surprised by Ash’s turn.” [sic]

Talking about the film, ‘Fanney Khan’ is the Hindi adaptation of the 2000 Dutch release ‘Everybody’s Famous’ directed by Dominique Deruddere. The Hindi adaptation will be helmed by debutant Atul Manjrekar and will be a Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and KriArj Entertainment’s production venture.
