After Batti Gul Meter Chalu, Bhushan Kumar takes over Fanne Khan, too

Bhushan Kumar, who was producing Fanne Khan along with KriArj Entertainment and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, has taken over the  Anil Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajkummar Rao-starrer as well. The film had hit a roadblock a few weeks ago as its shoot had also been called off.

Initially scheduled to release on June 15, it was deferred to July 13. An industry source reveals that Bhushan will be spending about Rs 6 crore to clear unpaid dues and complete the remaining portion of the shoot.

When contacted, Bhushan reverted by a text message saying, “I will now produce both; Batti Gul Meter Chalu (along with Shree Narayan Singh and Nitin Chandrachud) and Fanne Khan (jointly with Rakeyshji). We want to ensure that both the films are shot as per the locked schedule. Both the directors Shree Narayan and Atul Manjrekar are set to complete BGMC and Fanne Khan as planned. BGMC shooting has resumed on Friday. We will soon complete the two remaining songs of Fanne Khan and ready it for release on July 13.”

Prernaa Arora, one of the founders of KriArj Entertainment, remained unavailable for comment till the time of going to press.
