The trailer for Fanney Khan, directed by Atul Manjrekar and starring Anil Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai and Rajkummar Rao has been released. The movie is going to come out on August 3 2018. It is based on the Oscar Nominated Belgian comedy drama, Everybody’s Famous!. A teaser had been released last month, which introduced all the characters in the story, and now its expands on the narrative of the movie, showing how the different characters come together. And although it doesn’t spell out every plot detail, people who have read the synopsis of Everybody’s famous will know that Aishwarya is playing a famous singer, while Anil Kapoor is a taxi driver who kidnaps her as a part wish for his daughter, who wants to become a singer.
The trailer is chaotic and funny, and seems to get the tone of the original movie perfectly, while also making the story be about the Indian characters. Perhaps, the best thing about the trailer is Anil Kapoor, who just keeps getting better as he ages, and is fantastic here as a father who will do anything to make his daughter’s dreams come true.
Aishwarya Rai is in her diva mode and looks beautiful, oozing glamour perfectly, while Rajukummar Rao looks solid as always, and gives the story a kind of realist gravity that it needs to convince us about the characters’ arc.
