Finding Fanny is an upcoming comedy which has been directed by Homi Adajania (famed for Cocktail and Being Cyrus). Starring Deepika Padukone and Arjun Kapoor in the leading roles, the film also has legends Naseeruddin Shah, Dimple Kapadia and Pankaj Kapur in supporting roles. The film is based on a journey where the five ‘oddballs’ set out on a journey to find Stefanie (Fanny) Fernandez, who is the long lost love of Ferdie (played by Naseeruddin Shah). With special appearances from Ranveer Singh and Anjali Patil, Finding Fanny is scheduled for release on 12 September and hopefully it should be a film full of fun and adventure. The music has been composed by Mathias Duplessy and Sachin-Jigar. So does Finding Fanny (an album with only three songs) live up to our expectations? Read on to find out!

The first song of Homi Adajania’s upcoming movie Finding Fanny was released recently in Mumbai where the star couple – Arjun Kapoor and Deepika Padukone – was present along with the director. Just like the movie promises to be, the song ‘Oh Fanny Re’ is quirky and fun where all the lead actors of the movie are seen dancing on an eccentric set. The launch was quite unique with Arjun and Deepika themselves hosting the event. The song was performed live by music director Mathias Duplessy and Mukhtiyar Ali with dancers wearing the masks with faces of Deepika, Arjun, Naseeruddin, Dimple and Pankaj and performing to the song! Sachin and Jigar, the talented music duo, also performed their song “Shake your Bootiya” clearly moving on from Babaji ki ‘Booty’ to ‘Bootiya’!
