Aishwarya Rai, Anil Kapoor to share screen together

Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anil Kapoor are all set and ready to share the screen soon.

Excited much?

The duo will be seen together after almost 17 years in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and KriArj Entertainment's next production ‘Fanney Khan’. 

The Devdas actress last shared the screen with Mr. India star in the movie Taal.

However, in their upcoming movie, the charming duo won’t be playing each other's love interest.

According to Indian media, the co-producer of the movie spilled the beans as she said, "The team starts building the set in Mumbai next month and Anil will kick off shooting in the first week of August. Aishwarya joins him by the month-end and the film will wrap up in a start-to-finish schedule by October."

When asked about Aishwarya's role, the co-producer said, "Ash was blown away by her glamorous and “highly stylised” character. We took the script to her two months ago and she immediately gave her nod."

“Their combined energy is unparallel. Almost all of Ash’s scenes are with Anil. Her character is the complete opposite of her serious turns in ‘Jazbaa’ and ‘Sarbjit.’ In our film she is the spunky, enchanting female protagonist," she added.

There were also reports of Aishwarya getting selected for this film after Priyanka Chopra turned down the script. 

However, the makers of the film have denied this news and said that Aishwarya had always been the first and the last choice for the film’s character.

‘Fanney Khan’ is the Hindi adaptation of the 2000 Dutch release ‘Everybody's Famous’ directed by Dominique Deruddere.
