Director Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra was recently present in the Powerbrand - Film journalist and Filmmaker Award, which was organised by the Planman Media.

Talking about his upcoming film Fanney Khan which being produced by him, Mehra said, "I am always happy and proud to work with Divya Dutta".

When asked Mehra, his view on current state of awards shows where it is said that awards show has become fake or partial, Mehra said, "You don't have to get serious about these things". There are a lots shows that are been sponsored by the big companies and TV channels so somewhere down the line they all have muscled down to a TV show rather than purely an award function. The awardees of this award are chosen by film journalist who gives all their life to films.

About the Power award show, Director said, "This is their first year". I don't really understand power but I believe that power is what comes from mind and thought.

The movie is directed by debutant director Atul Manjrekar and it is his dream and his vision, said Rakeysh, "I am supporting it".

Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has earlier worked together in Subhash Ghai's movie "Taal" and Satish Kaushik's movie "Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai". "I wish the team of Fanney Khan all the luck".

"We have a great cast and it is a dream film for me". This was the reason why Fanney Khan will now see Rajkummar Rao playing the love interest of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and not R. Madhavan.

It would have been fantastic to see Aishwarya and Madhavan sharing screen space.

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra along with the producer Rajiv Tondon wanted to work with fresh writers and directors who brought in new concepts. The film is slated for an April 2018 release.
