'Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were our natural choices for Fanney Khan and Baby Singh's roles'

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is known for making films that do not only entertain, but also give some sort of message and leave a lasting impression on viewers’ mind. The filmmaker's next production venture, Fanney Khan, gets two famous personalities together on the big screen after 17 years and they are none other than Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Rakesyh feels like both the actors were made for these roles. "Anil and Aishwarya were our natural choices to play the part of Fanney Khan and Baby Singh. Fortunately, the casting fell in place and both of them were very excited to play their parts. You know there are some things that are meant to be.. And now when I look at the film it feels like the roles were tailor made for them. It all fits in so well," Rakesyh said in a statement. 

The duo has earlier worked together in Subhash Ghai's 1999 blockbuster 'Taal' and Satish Kaushik's 'Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai'. The films also stars Rajkummar Rao and Divya Dutta in prominent roles.
