A still from Pankaj Kapur's Finding Fanny and Shahid Kapur's Haider respectively
Veteran actor Pankaj Kapur said "I am happy to see my son doing well," referring to Shahid Kapoor's work in his forthcoming film Haider, an Indian adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Within a span of a few weeks, both father and son will come on-screen to woo the audience with two different films. While Finding Fanny will see Pankaj Kapur tickling the funny bones of the audience, Shahid's Haider will keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
"I am happy to see my son doing well. Haider is certainly a special film and coming from Vishal Bhardwaj makes it all the more special. I am extremely happy to see Shahid's work in Haider," Pankaj Kapur, who has been part of Vishal Bhardwaj's well-crafted dramas Maqbool and The Blue Umbrella, told IANS.
Director Homi Adajania's quirky drama Finding Fanny, which also stars Dimple Kapadia, Deepika Padukone and Arjun Kapoor, is set to release on September 12, while Haider, part of director Vishal Bhardwaj's Shakespeare trilogy after Maqbool (Macbeth) and Omkara (Othello), will hit the screens on October 2.
In the film, Shahid has teamed up with actress Shraddha Kapoor.
If the 60-year-old is impressed with his son's work, he is equally excited about Finding Fanny.
Mr Kapur said "When Homi came to me with the script I instantly said yes to the film. It's a very unusual film, which I have not done before. "
