Only
A
Special
Appearance?
DNA
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
has
a
short
but
interesting
role
in
the
movie.
She's
barely
in
it
for
around
15-20
minutes,
so
it's
a
special
appearance."
Details
About
Aishwarya's
Screen
Time
The
source
further
added,
"She
shot
for
around
12-13
days
with
Anil
Kapoor
and
Rajkummar
Rao.
Two
songs
-
a
dance
number
and
a
love
track
-
have
been
filmed
on
her."
Why
Aish
Gave
Nod
To
Film
Despite
Having
Lesser
Screen
Time?
"When
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra
and
director
Atul
Manjrekar
narrated
the
script
to
her,
she
was
drawn
to
it
because
of
the
theme
of
fat
shaming,
which
she
feels,
needs
to
be
addressed,"
says
the
source.
When
Aishwarya
Herself
Talked
About
Her
Role
In
Fanney
Khan
While
talking
to
a
leading
daily,
Aishwarya
had
said,
"I'm
doing Fanney
Khan because
I
like
the
larger
idea.
There's
a
girl
who
looks
up
to
this
pop
star,
who
is
played
by
me.
But
sometimes,
when
we
idolise
someone,
we
forget
that
they,
too,
are
real
people.
We
shouldn't
judge
them
for
their
appearance.
It's
frivolous.
It's
important
for
me
to
come
out
and
speak
about
such
issues."
Aish
Doesn't
Give
A
Damn
About
The
Screen
Time
"I
don't
care
if
it's
a
character,
a
leading
lady
or
a
glamorous
part.
People
forget
I
did Iruvar(1997)
right
at
the
beginning
of
my
career.
I
played
Shahrukh
(Khan)'s
sister
in
our
first
film
together
(Josh,
2000).
I
never
had
any
issues."
