Anil Kapoor will be seen playing a father to Pihu Sand in his upcoming film, Fanney Khan. In the film, his daughter battles the social evil of body shaming. Ahead of the film's release, Anil Kapoor opened up about the real-life agony of watching his daughter Sonam Kapoor and nephew Arjun Kapoor, who overcame the hurdle of body image issues. Pihu Sand, the 20-year-old debutante, who plays Anil Kapoor and Divya Dutta's daughter, Lata, in the upcoming musical drama, Fanney Khan, had revealed that she gained 20 not-needed kg to tip the scales at 98 kg, the heaviest she's ever been, for the film.
Anil Kapoor was mighty impressed by the young girl's confidence and histrionics during their first workshop at his residence. "Having seen the original Belgium film, Everybody's Famous!, I knew this was a tricky bit of casting but after meeting the bindaas Pihu I knew instantly that she was our Lata. When I see talent, everything else pales into insignificance, including someone's physicality," says the actor.
