Fanney Khan actor Pihu Sand: Bhumi Pednekar's role in Dum Laga Ke Hais

Actor Pihu Sand, who is all set to make her
debut with Atul Manjrekar's Fanney Khan,
considers Bhumi Pednekar as her
inspiration for the role. Pihu, who plays an
aspiring singer in the film, also starring Anil
Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and
Rajkummar Rao, had to gain 20 kg for her
role.
Bhumi had done something similar for her
debut film "Dum Laga Ke Haisha".
"When I saw 'Dum Laga ke Haisha', I saw
how heavy she was in the film but over and
above she did such a good job. She gained
weight for what she loved and yes that
inspired me. I did the same because I love
what I was going to do in 'Fanney Khan',"
Pihu said in a statement.
Pihu plays Lata Sharma, a young girl who
dreams of becoming a star performer while
battling body shaming.
Two tracks from Fanney Khan featuring
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan titled Mohabbat
and Halka Halka released recently through
online platform.
The film is set to release on August 3.
(With PTI Inputs).
