its amusing when ppl use accents as a measure of competency in English...
fluency has more to do with your confidence and command over the language and its grammar in impromptu situations...it has nothing to do with accents...
I have professors at university ranging from german to indian to arab to chinese to australian to british to Canadian and they all have different accents when they speak English. But that does not mean they aren't proficient with it. Accents are part of who we are and where we grow up. There is no absolute accent which is considered universally right for speaking english.

oh this one is going to be a unintentional comedy movie with deepika's english skills and dialogue delivery 😆

If one can survive in Bollywood with no hindi knowledge, English accent and no whatsoever acting abilities by just smiling and shaking her assests then Deepika need not worry. Because Deepika has her hindi accent and TALENT.😉
What will you do with "sexy" girl tag after couple of years but the TALENT will survive.
So @Crystal, don't worry about Deepu. She will do fine.😳

Plot[edit source | editbeta]

Five dysfunctional Goans set off on a road trip in search of an old postman's childhood love, Stefaine "Fanny" Fernandes, though nobody knows whether she's alive or dead or just a figment of someone's imagination. However, the friends get lost, and the journey that is supposed to take 20 minutes unexpectedly takes one and a half days instead.

  • Deepika Padukone
  • Arjun Kapoor
  • Naseeruddin Shah
  • Dimple Kapadia
  • Pankaj Kapur
  • Boman Irani

Development[edit source | editbeta]

Homi Adajania had finished writing the script of Finding Fanny Fernandes by 2009, 4 years after his first directorial venture Being Cyrus released.[2]However, casting for the film became an issue as it was an offbeat short film. Dinesh Vijan had suggested against making the film, advising Adajania that "you are going to make a Hinglish film which only 10 people will see."[3] Hence, Adajania postponed the film and went on to direct Cocktail instead. During the shooting of Cocktail, his narration of the story to lead actress Deepika Padukone had impressed her, and she expressed her desire to be a part of the film.[4] In May, 2013, Padukone and Arjun Kapoor were signed in leading roles.[5] The film also stars Naseeruddin Shah and Dimple Kapadia, who have earlier featured in Being Cyrus, as well as Pankaj Kapur.

Filming[edit source | editbeta]

The film is scheduled to begin shooting in October, 2013

An Indi film that caters to a global audience? If they mean NRIs, then just make a movie with SRK, Deepika and RK. Like there you go, you have a blockbuster already. 😆

Exactly. A southie will have southie accent, a bong will have bong, maharashtrian will have marathi accent whilst they speak english.
