Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-starrer Fanney Khan will take up the cause of body shaming — which has become rampant across the world — in a huge way, says producer Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.
Fanney Khan is a beautiful father and daughter story. We have a new girl playing a 16-year-old daughter. It picks up the cause of a young girl in a big way. And you will see the film in many layers… It’s about her aspirations of getting popular.
“At the same time, it’s about the whole body shaming of a girl — most of the girls not just in India, but around the world go through… The male gaze thing or female gaze also… (which is) very scary,” Mehra told IANS .

To be directed by Atul Manjrekar, the film has music by Amit Trivedi and lyrics by Irshad Kamil.
A first look into the film — as shared by Anil — earlier this year, saw him dressed dressed in a blingy golden jacket singing his heart way as a spotlight shone on him.
According to latest reports, Madhavan will also be a part of the project, which is also backed by KriArj Entertainment and T-Series.
