Fanne Khan locks a new release date

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao’s keenly-awaited film, Fanne Khan, has been postponed to a new date. Earlier slated to enter cinemas on 13th July, the musical drama will now arrive in theatres on 3rd August.

Though the makers have shifted back to a new release date, there is no respite from a clash at the box-office. Earlier, Fanne Khan was scheduled to release on Eid, clashing with Salman Khan Films’ Race 3, starring Salman Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Daisy Shah, and Saqib Saleem.


However, the film was postponed to 13th July to battle it out with the Diljeet Singh and Taapsee Pannu starrer Soorma at the box-office. But now, the makers have opted for 3rd August. But even after being postponed so many times, Fanne Khan will not have a solo release. The film will clash with Irrfan Khan’s Karwaan which is also slated to hit screens on 3rd August.

Helmed by Atul Manjrekar, Fanne Khan is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and nominees of ROMPL.

Saif Ali Khan remembered being backstage in Mumbai when his father’s sister walked up and said she could not believe he was dancing at a wedding. The remark stung, and it stayed with him. He said that some actors see themselves as entertainers and are happy to turn up, take the fee and move on. However, he has stopped feeling that way.
