‘Finding Fanny’ director said in an interview, “She has a great face and body. More importantly, she is a brilliant actress. I am happy that she understands me as a director very well”. Adajania cast Deepika Padukone in 'Cocktail' without watching her earlier films.

According to media reports Adajania said, “Before starting the shoot for the film, I told her, you have to trust me as a director. ‘Veronica’ was a cool character in the previous movie ‘Cocktail’ but please don't pretend to be cool because then you will be so unreal. I had told Deepika that when people come out from theatre after watching ‘Cocktail’ they will feel that they have seen the best film of yours. I am a big fan of Deepika, Kajol and Tabu”.

‘Finding Fanny’ is slated for September 12 release in English and Hindi.
