vacationing
in
New
York
with
hubby
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
daughter
Aradhya.
She
will
resume

return
in
July.
The
prep

the

begins
in
mid

while
the
film
goes

The
Shooting
Schedule
Of
Fanney
Khan
Prernaa
Arora
who
is
the
co-producer
of this
musical
drama was
quoted
saying
revealed
to
Mumbai
Mirror,
"The
team
starts
building
the
set
in
Mumbai
next
month
and
Anil
will
kick
off
shooting
in
the
first
week
of
August.
Aishwarya
joins
him
by
the
month-end
and
the
film
will
wrap
up
in
a
start-to-finish
schedule
by
October."
Aishwarya
To
Play
A
Singer
When
quizzed
about
Aishwarya's
role,
Prernaa
revealed,
"Ash
was
blown
away
by
her
glamorous
and
"highly
stylized" character.
We
took
the
script
to
her
two
months
ago
and
she
immediately
gave
her
nod."
Aishwarya
Rai
And
Anil
Kapoor
Won't
Be
Romancing
Each
Other
Aishwarya
will
be
seen
teaming
up
with
Anil
Kapoor
after
almost
17
years.
The
two
worked
together
in
films
like
Taal
and
Hamara
Dil
Aapke
Paas
Hai.
However,
this
time,
they
don't
play
each
other's
love
interest.
Did
Ash
Replace
Priyanka
Chopra
In
Fanney
Khan?
There
was
a
buzz
that
before
Ash,
the
role
was
offered
to
Priyanka
Chopra
but
she
turned
it
down
because
she
was
unhappy
with
the
script.
However
Prerna
clarified,
"Since
I
came
on-board,
we've
only
approached
Ash.
She
was
our
first
and
only
choice
for
the
film."
Fanney

Film
Fanney

the

Dutch
release Everybody's
Famous directed
by
Dominique
Deruddere. It
will
be

by

Atul

The
story
revolves
around
a
17-year-old
aspiring
singer
whose
career
takes
off
after
her
unemployed
father,
who
also
harbours
the
dreams
of

of
the
country.

Ash's
Role
In
Fanney
Khan
Is
Unlike
What
She
Played
In
Jazbaa
And
Sarbjit
Recently
Anil
and
Aishwarya
had
their
first
reading
together
and
Prerna
reveals
that
their
'combined
energy
is
unparalled'.
She
says,
"Almost
all
of
Ash's
scenes
are
with
Anil.
Her
character
is
the
complete
opposite
of
her
serious
turns
in
Jazbaa
and
Sarbjit.
In
our
film
she
is
the
spunky,
enchanting
female
protagonist."
Ash
To
Debut
As
A
Singer?
In
Fanney
Khan,
while
Anil
Kapoor
will
churn
out
multiple
songs,
Aishwarya
too
may
debut
as
a
singer
and
belt
out
her
single.
While
Prerna
refused
to
spill
the
beans,
she
did
add,
"Everyone
will
be
surprised
by
Ash's
turn."
