Naseeruddin Shah, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia and Pankaj Kapur will feature in prominent roles. The film is based on a road trip set in Goa and follows the journey of five characters.


Plot
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.


Cast
  • Deepika Padukone
  • Arjun Kapoor
  • Naseeruddin Shah
  • Dimple Kapadia
  • Pankaj Kapur


Development

Homi Adajania had finished writing the script of Finding Fanny Fernandes by 2009, 4 years after his first directorial venture Being Cyrus released. 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." 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. In May, 2013, Padukone and Arjun Kapoor were signed in leading roles. The film also stars Naseeruddin Shah and Dimple Kapadia, who have earlier featured in Being Cyrus, as well as Pankaj Kapur and Konkani actor Kevin D'Mello. According to Daily News and Analysis, Ranveer Singh is also slated to appear in a cameo appearance.

Filming

Shooting of the film began in October, 2013 and was completed in 41 days.

Deepika Padukone's Goa Outing For Cocktail' Director's Next!

By BusinessofCinema News Network on September 21, 2013

MUMBAI: Deepika Padukone has had a whirlwind 2013. From Race 2 to Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' to Chennai Express' and Ram Leela' coming soon, she's had huge hits.

She was also recently shooting in Dubai for Farah Khan's next Happy New Year' and Deepika Padukone has now come down to take a two-day breather in Goa.

But she's not in Goa just for a small holiday. Come the following week, Deepika Padukone'll begin shooting for her Cocktail' director Homi Adajania's next called Finding Fanny Fernandes'. Arjun Kapoor will join them on Goa's beaches as soon as he returns from Kolkata where he is currently shooting for Gunday'.

Deepika Padukone's spokesperson reveals, "She has narrations and costume trials lined up, but essentially these two days will be lighter. She's looking forward to spending some time by herself and catching up with Homi as well."

Besides Happy New Year' and Finding Fanny Fernandes', Deepika Padukone also has a film with Ranbir Kapoor lined up, being directed by her Love Aaj Kal' director Imtiaz Ali. The film is tentatively titled Window Seat'
