Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who was last seen with Anil Kapoor in 'Taal' is all set to the reunite with the actor after almost 17 years in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's 'Fanney Khan'. While the reports suggested that Aishwarya will not be romancing Anil in the film, the 'Mubarakan' actor in a recent interaction confirmed the news.
Talking about Atul Manjrekar’s directorial venture, Anil Kapoor revealed, "Most exciting part is that Aishwarya is not opposite me. So that makes it different. Not that she was opposite me in 'Taal', she was opposite Akshaye Khanna. But there was a certain undercurrent of romance in 'Taal' and 'Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai' she was my wife." The actor further added, "So we both are strangers in the film, strangers who come together but there is no romance which makes it exciting. That is the different part of our casting."
Anil Kapoor was all praises for Aishwarya and said, "Aishwarya and I got along very well. I got along very well with her mother also. I shared a bond with both of them and we still share it. And obviously she is very intelligent and sharp and she speaks very well. She is the most beautiful girl, who can be more beautiful than Aishwarya Rai? You cannot take your eyes off her. And she is a great dancer. Her dancing in 'Taal' was fantastic. There were certain scenes we did in 'Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai', which were very dramatic and very convincing and both films have been very successful and they have a recall value. Sometimes you do films and people forget about it. But in both these films, there are certain things which people still remember, be it the music."
Like it is said that 'third time is a charm!', Anil Kapoor signed off saying, "Hopefully 'Fanney Khan' can be something that we hit a hat-trick with!" Directed by Anil Manjrekar, 'Fanney Khan' is all set to go on floors by the end of August and the makers are aiming for an April 2018 release.
