Fanney Khan about a teenaged girl named Lata Sharma spiring singer likeer like her legendary namesake is designed as an Ode to the Nightingale.
“It was always meant to be a homage to Lataji. All of us in the cast and crew of this film are her fans. For me my greatest moment of triumph was when Lataji sang Lukka chuppi in Rang De Basanti,” says Rakeysh Mehra feelingly.
Plans are now afoot to show Fanney Khan to the mega-iconic singer who has inspired the film.
Though Lataji doesn’t socialize much nowadays she says she is curious to see how Fanney Khanna has panned out. “It is nice to know I am remembered even now. Rakeyshji and I have shared a warm equation since Rang De Basanti. I think Lukka chuppi is the last song I enjoyed singing for a film. That he has honoured me(in Fanney Khan) is most gratifying.”
Remind her that filmmakers and actors have similarly seen her as benchmark of perfect singing for many decades now , and she laughs, “It’s God’s grace and the love of the people out there who have tolerated me for so long.”
