Did
you
know
that
Farhan
Akhtar
had
to
debut
in
Bollywood
with
the
film
The
Fakhir
Of
Venice
in
2008?
Due
to
unforeseen
circumstances
the
film
was
not
completed.
But
then
Rock
On
came
along,
and
the
actor
latched
on
to
it
leaving
the
offbeat
film
in
the
dark.
Now
after
nine
years,
it
is
reported
that
the
film
is
all
set
to
hit
the
theatres
in
2017.
According
to
a
report
from
DNA,
a
source
was
quoted
as
saying,
"An
offbeat
film,
it
would
also
mark
the
debut
of
director
Anand
Surapur,
had
it
released
then.
However,
with
no
definite
plan
for
it,
especially
in
India,
it
languished
in
obscurity
for
years.
Rock
On!!
came
and
went.
It
is
now
being
revived
and
a
release
date
is
planned
(March
10)."
The
first
look
has
been
doing
the
rounds
on
social
media
since
a
few
days.
However,
nothing
has
been
confirmed
by
Farhan
Akhtar
and
the
film-makers.
The
Fakir
Of
Venice,
is
a
film
about
two
conmen
who
are
hired
to
find
a
poor
guy
from
India
for
an
art
project
in
Venice,
Italy.
The
film
also
stars
Annu
Kapoor
in
a
prominent
role
and
is
directed
by
Anand
Surapur.
