Filmmaker Homi Adajania is on cloud nine with the release of his highly anticipated film 'Finding Fanny'. The film's unusual theme has created quite a buzz around the film but more than anything else, it is the stars of the film which have been the talk of the town.

The cast which is an ensemble of actors coming from different schools of acting make for a quirky team which has not only performed well but has also made the director, a happy man.

Talking about his cast, he confessed that he was extremely grateful and blessed to have a team like this. He exclaims that Pankaj Kapur surprised him to the core.

"My biggest gift from the film was Pankaj Kapur. He is a friend now and is one of the sweetest guys. Everyone thinks that he is just a serious guy, but in reality, he is just a shy man. We made a solid effort to break him out of his mould by forcing him to swim and hang out with us every night. Poor Pankaj would come and sit at the party with his Virgin Pina Colada and have a blast in his own space. And what a powerhouse of talent," said an impressed Homi.

He further added accolades in favour of his leading lady Deepika Padukone. "Genuinely, I was blown away with Deepika due to the ease with which she has moulded herself into this role and the pitch with which she has played this character. At some level you expect something out of veterans like Dimple, Naseer and Pankaj, but to be able to pitch down like Deepika has, is impressive," added Homi.

The film has opened to rave reviews but it remains to be seen how audience reacts to it.
