There were rumours that Priyanka Chopra and not Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was approached first for Fanney Khan. A source close to the actress has revealed thus to a tabloid: “The actress is busy reading Bollywood projects, but nothing has been finalised yet. She is set to come back to Mumbai in December, and will finalise the projects. Out of the many scripts, Priyanka has given her nod just to Fanney Khan. The movie is to be produced by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and will be directed by debutant Atul Manjrekar. Anil Kapoor is also rumoured to be playing the male lead in the film.”
Later, news came that Priyanka allaegdly didn’t like the script and moved out of the project. Prernaa Arora, the producer of Fanney Khan had this to say: “Since I came onboard, we’ve only approached Ash. She was our first and only choice for the film.” Good to see the air being cleared on the topic.
