I am very happy with the film." Aishwarya and Anil Kapoor co-starred in the films Taal and Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai.
The film's shooting was stalled in between as the crew members alleged that their dues had not been cleared.

So, we've decided not to start work on the next schedule (filming of two songs) till we get paid," a source earlier told mid-day. Fanne Khan is among the list of trouble KriArj films (co-owned by Prernaa Arora).
Fanne Khan is co-produced by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and T-Series' Bhushan Kumar. It is directed by Atul Manjrekar.
