Actors now see merit in the story and not director’s name: Fanney Khan director Atul Manjrekar

In the involvement of artists, Anil Kapoor, Rajkumar Rao and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, in a project, can irritate the person on the chair of the director, Ati Manjrekar, director of Fanny Khan, had no such concern.


Interacting with Fanny Khan Director Atul Manjrekar shared the experience of helmating his first Bollywood film, which was co-produced by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.

Anil, Rajkumar and Aishwarya prefer a project in the involvement of artists, while a person may have a panic over the director's chair, Atul was rather comfortable. When asked about his experience of working with three big names in the industry, he replied, "There was no nervousness." They are all great actors, not only Anil (Kapoor), Aishwarya (Rai) and Rajkumar (Rao), But Girish Kulkarni and Divya Datta are also superb actors, they are all very busy and very cooperative and helpful. They actually directed me a lot and I never felt that This is my first movie. I think if they were not great actors then I would have been nervous. "

In Fanny Khan, Anil Kapoor plays the role of an ambitious singer and a father who plans to live up to his dreams by making a singing sympathy through his daughter Lata. When scripting the film, Fanny Khan's character was written in the mind with Kapoor. "The film and its story have been made for Anil Kapoor, he is the perfect fit for Fan Khan and he was always the first choice for this. I have written this script, keeping Anil sar in mind," Atul said. . Giving further details about Anil's invincible energy at the age of 61, he said,"With Anil Sir, the work was fast and the mood on the set was very happy, it was very much energy and I liked to direct him. Everyone had great fun on the set, the energy was amazing. "

The reports suggested that Kapoor had recommended the film of the film, Taal of the 1999 movie Aishwarya Rai. Dismissing reports, Atul said, "He (Aishwarya) was the only one who could play the role. When we were writing the character, its first line said, 'She is the most beautiful woman in the country' and when you have the character As it is, you have no choice but to put it in. Aishwarya's name is the only name that comes to your mind. "

Out of many other things, Cinefile has been drawn towards Fanny Khan, which is the offbeat pair of Aishwarya and Rajkumar. When we asked Atul how they thought of bringing two actors together, then they insisted on watching the film first.

He said, "Some surprises should be kept to the end, this is the most amazing romantic angle in the film, I have written a script with all the artists in my mind." Raj was always in my mind for the character of Ahir and I kept this in mind. However, it is a bromant on the romance. Anil will take priority over the romance of Bromnas Raj and Aishwarya between Sir and Raj. "

Moving forward into the conversation, we asked the first filmmaker about his ideas on the A-listers who wanted to work with new directors. "I think the stories and the way they are telling stories are attracting actors towards new directors, there is a pressure perspective, we are living in such a good time that we can go away from the formula. It is a challenge for them and this is what makes them excited. They see the merit in the story, "Atul said.

Fanny Khan is an adaptation of the famous Belgian film Everybody's Famous! Who was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 73rd Academy Awards. Recently, Hindi cinema has been confused with remake or adaptation of regional or Hollywood films. So, what are the limitations or benefits of reviving popular films? Atul said, "There is no limit to adopting the film." As a director, you have to see the script which comes to you and works it in its own way, but since the film has already been created And you have taken this as the director, it is your responsibility that when you are remake a movie, you have to make sure that his spirit remains intact. "

Since the story of Fanny Khan revolves around the music, the film has been packed with some beautiful works by Amit Trivedi and some renovated versions of old tunes such as "Halka Hala Suroor Hai" and "Badan Pa Seetara Lapat Hue". But, as always, tilted with prestigious songs has not run very well with music lovers. Still, this criticism does not bother Atul.

"I knew that this criticism would be there but it is my issue of the film, entertainment vs. original, you should listen to the entire music and you will get all your answers. There are some remakes who have done the work and some have no reason for it. It has emotional quality in the songs, it can be a song, it can be remade ten times, and if it does not connect emotionally, it would immediately become a bad song If it connects with you, then it is a good song, this is the same with music.
As long as you are making music that connects to the story and it is true, it will always be connected, "Atul signed Said after.

Fannie Khan hit theaters on August 3.
