Aishwarya is playing a cameo in Fanne Khan

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on Fanne Khan: I am a chapter in the film, not the fulcrum

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be seen sharing screen space with Rajkummar Rao and Anil Kapoor in Fanne Khan. She spoke to a leading daily about her role in the film.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be seen on the silver-screen after a year and-a-half. She starred in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil that released in October 2016. This year, she will have Fanne Khan which will release on July 13, 2018.

Aishwarya will be seen sharing screen space with Rajkummar Rao and Anil Kapoor in the film. She plays the role of a glamorous singer in the film that deals with the issue of body-shaming. Aishwarya has already shot a major portion of the film.

"I am a chapter in the film, not the fulcrum. There are other talents in the story and you will see why I chose to do the film once it releases. I am working with Anil for the third time and though I want to call him Anilji, he insists I call him Anil. He is such a dedicated and ever-charged artiste, said Aishwarya about her role in Fanne Khan in an interview with a leading daily.

About her role in the film, a source had earlier told a leading daily, "She now has a far more important role than the actress who played her part in the original film. It was always one of the pivotal characters. But now she has been given far more importance in the script than what the original actress got. Aishwarya plays a singer and has four songs which she will sing herself for the first time.

Fanne Khan is the remake of Everybody's Famous.

yeh kya hai, movies with the name 'Fanny/e' ? Maine toh kabhi yeh ajeeb naam suna nahi, woh bhi India mein.

Sounds more like supporting role to me rather than cameo. Why does Ash start as main lead when the film is announced as per media articles and end up with the supporting role?
