Bollywood filmmaker and director Farhan Akhtar made his
acting debut with Rock On!! in
the year 2008. For his role as Aditya Shroff, Farhan won several accolades and
then there was no turning back for the actor.
But, only a few of them know that Rock On!! was
not supposed to be his acting debut. Yes, the multifaceted actor had worked on
another project titled The Fakir of Venice which
isn't released yet. But, now the makers are gearing up for the release of the movie.
Now, as per a famous daily, Farhan is yet to join the
promotional campaign of the movie and has not given a green signal about it to
the makers. Speaking about it, an insider specified, "The makers have been
trying to get in touch with Farhan for a while but in vain. He may be busy with
other commitments, but they are hoping to receive a reply at least."
The first look of the movie was released on Monday and it
showed Farhan and Annu Kapoor in hermit attire. The film is directed by ad
filmmaker Anand Surapur and also stars Kamal
Sidhu in a pivotal role.
Presently, Farhan has started shooting for Lucknow Central
in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The source further added, "The Fakir of
Venice got stuck when the producers changed, but the issue
has been resolved and the film is ready for release. It is the director's debut
project too."
The Fakir of Venice is
reportedly inspired by filmmaker Homi Adajania's real experiences during his
travels and was screened at several film festivals.
When the producer Punit Desai was asked about the
development of the film, he told, "We are in talks for dubbing certain
parts and exploring the opportunity for a promotional song with Farhan and AR
Rahman."
While Anand told, "Farhan and I go back a long way. He
has always been supportive of my endeavours."
