'Finding Fanny' was like holiday for me: Arjun
Working on Homi Adajania's English language film "Finding Fanny", which was majorly shot in Goa, turned out to be like a holiday for him.
The experience of shooting with a team as wonderful as actors such as Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia and Deepika Padukone, was also enhanced because of the director's clarity of thought, said the "Gunday" actor.
"Homi was clear about what he wanted the film to be like. He wanted it to seem like a regular conversation, and to seem like it's out of real life. He wanted the quirkiness and humour to come out in a dead pan way. I enjoyed working on 'Finding Fanny'. It was like a holiday for me," Arjun told IANS.
The movie's first look has been appreciated for its quirkiness.
