Anjali Patil hopes Finding Fanny opens new doors for her

Actress Anjali Patil, who had a special appearance as the titular character in ‘Finding Fanny’ thinks her few minutes in the movie, may help her bag good projects in Bollywood.

The 27-year-old actress, who appears in a few dream sequences and also in the end of the movie, says the film will help people see her in a different light.

“I think it might open new opportunities. I donned a glamorous avatar, which I have not done before in my films. I think my role in ‘Finding Fanny’ will help people see me in that glamorous space. They will know that I can also pull off such roles,” told Anjali.

The actress, who has bagged a National Award (Special Mention) for her performance in Telugu film ‘Na Bangaru Talli’, said she had no apprehensions about doing a cameo appearance in the Homi Adajania-directed film as she was more than happy to do a movie with veterans like Pankaj Kapur, Dimple Kapadia besides getting to play Naseeruddin Shah’s love interest.

“I had no reason to say no to ‘Finding Fanny’… it has such an amazing cast. The film is very good and I am really happy that I was approached for it. Homi is an amazing director. It is one of the ground breaking films in India. When Homi approached me with the role he said he was looking for Fanny and I looked like her. And also I got to shoot with Naseer saab,” she said. Anjali made her film debut with international independent project ‘Delhi in a Day’ and was
critically appreciated for her role.
