So sweet, Abhishek!
In Fanney Khan, Anil Kapoor plays the titular. The film tracks the story of a father (Anil Kapoor), who is a failed musician but wants his daughter Lata (Pihu Sand) to become a successful singer, which is also her dream. However, Pihu deals with body-shaming issues. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan plays singer Baby Singh, whom Anil Kapoor kidnaps to help Pihu achieve her dreams and Rajkummar Rao stars as his friend who helps him.
Fanney Khan is directed by Atul Manjrekar. It is Aishwarya's first film after 2016's Ae DIl Hai Mushkil.
Meanwhile, Abhishek and Aishwarya are all set to co-star together in Anurag Kashyap's Gulab Jamun. The film reunites them after eight years (Raavan released in 2010). Abhishek's next film is Manmarziyan.
