Anil Kapoor: This character’s journey is similar to mine in many ways

Anil Kapoor gets a major throwback with his next film, ‘Fanney Khan’, in which he plays a taxi driver trying to help his aspiring musician daughter.

Many of his early films featured Kapoor playing the struggling common man, and his performances were appreciated by different strata of the audience. ‘Fanney Khan’ showcases the struggles of a father to make her daughter’s dream come true.

Anil Kapoor got back to his roots through the film, from the time of his debut days in ‘Woh Saat Din’ (1983) – when Anil played the common man in many films, such as ‘Ram Lakhan’ (1989), ‘Jamai Raja’ (1990), and ‘Laadla’ (1994). He later moved to slice-of-life films such as ‘Biwi No. 1’ (1999) and ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ (2015), in which his character moved in the more rarefied circles of society.

Anil tells us, “‘Fanney Khan’ is one character that I have resonated with the most so far. Not only do I identify with his struggles, but I also relate to his passion and his relationship with his daughter. This character’s journey is similar to mine in many ways. I may not have played a taxi driver on-screen before, but I’ve played many characters who have risen from the ground up through sheer will and determination. But everything about ‘Fanney Khan’, his dream and his drive to overcome every obstacle, is special to me. He doesn’t let his circumstances get in the way of his destiny, and that is something we can all learn from. It doesn’t matter where we start, as long as we do.”
