'Fanney Khan' Box Office Collection Day 3: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, And Rajkummar Rao's Film Earns Rs. 6.75 Crores

The Anil Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Rajkummar Rao's starrer 'Fanney Khan' had a disappointing start at the box office when it hit screens on August 3. The film has had a minimal growth on its third day at the box office raking in a total of approximately Rs. 6.75 crores after its third day. The movie saw a clash with the Taapsee Pannu- Rishi Kapoor starrer 'Mulk' and the Irrfan Khan, Dulquer Salmaan, and Mithila Palkar starrer 'Karwaan' which have raked in Rs. 6.80 crores and Rs. 7.75 crores respectively. 'Fanney Khan' which had the best opening in comparison with the other two films seems to have failed to pick up pace over the weekend. The film, which earned Rs. 1.90 crores on its first day, raked in Rs. 2.25 crores on its second day and Rs. 2.60 crores on its third day thereby taking its total up to Rs. 6.75 crores. 'Fanney Khan' marks the Bollywood debut of Pihu Sand.

The film follows the journey of Fanney Khan played by Anil Kapoor, who is in a quest to fulfil his daughter Lata's dreams. While Aishwarya Rai Bachchan plays the role of a famous artist named Baby Singh with Rajkummar Rao playing her love interest. 'Fanney Khan' also throws light on the issue of body shaming. Talking about his connection with the film's subject, producer Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, who has a 19-year-old daughter, said that he can see the self-image issues growing girls face. He further went on to add that girls are constantly judged for everything from their hair to their makeup and films are also to blame for this unfortunate reality.

'Fanney Khan', which is the official remake of 'Everybody's Famous', marks Atul Manjrekar's directorial debut. As per reports, the filmmaker recently revealed that it wasn't Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajkummar Rao but Priyanka Chopra and R Madhavan who were the first choices for the film. Manjrekar revealed that Priyanka and Madhavan couldn't be a part of the film due to date issues. Manjrekar has earlier directed a number of ad films and has also worked as an assistant director and as an editor for over 20 years.
