Anil Kapoor longs for Achche Din in the latest track from his upcoming film Fanney Khan. The soulful track composed and sung by Amit Trivedi is picturised on Anil Kapoor and gives a glimpse of his simple lifestyle. Anil Kapoor plays the role of a taxi driver, who wanted to become a musician and now wants his daughter Lata (played by newcomer Pihu) to become a renowned singer. Anil Kapoor's character is depicted as a dedicated man with a single goal - to ensure his daughter fulfills her dream, which was once his own. But there are many obstacles and just one of them is monetary. Lata, who is a good singer, is struggling with body image issues and gives up when she's body-shamed by the audience. Achche Din is written by Irshad Kamil.

Fanney Khan also stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajkummar Rao. Aishwarya plays the role of a celebrated singer Baby Singh, who is kidnapped by Anil Kapoor and his sidekick (of sorts) Adhir, played by Rajkummar. Adhir and Fanney Khan (as Anil Kapoor is called in the film) want Baby Singh to help Lata realise her dream and true potential.
