The film is being directed by Atul Manjrekar and jointly produced by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, KriArj Entertainment and T-Series. It is the official remake of the Oscar-nominated 2000 Dutch film Everybody’s Famous!, about a young teenage girl who is forced by her parents to become a singing star. The girl’s career takes off once her unemployed father kidnaps the top singer of the country. Anil, who had earlier featured with Aishwarya in Taal, will play on-screen father to her in the film. Earlier, it was reported that R Madhavan may be cast opposite Aishwarya, and subsequently, it sparked talks that the actress was upset over it as she was keen on Rajkummar instead. In the film, she plays a famous performer, known for her singing and dancing skills. Fanney Khan opens in cinemas on 3 August. With inputs from IANS
