Mumbai: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s “Fanney Khan” is ready for a head to head with Salman Khan’s “Race 3” next year on Eid.

“Fanney Khan” starring Anil Kapoor, Aishwarya and Rajkummar Rao is all set to hit the theatres in India on June 15, 2018.

“We are happy to announce that ‘Fanney Khan’ is coming to wish audiences ‘Eid Mubarak’ on June 15, next year.

“The film is a beautiful slice of life story that comes straight from the heart and will have audiences thoroughly entertained,” producer Prernaa Arora of KriArj Entertainment, said in a statement.

Directed by Atul Manjrekar, the film is the official Indian remake of the Dutch film “Everybody’s Famous”.

Salman, who has been dominating the Eid release slot for six years now, will once again release his movie on the festival. “Race 3” is the third film in the action franchise.
