The recently released trailer of Finding Fanny, also features Naseeruddin Shah and Dimple Kapadia. Stealing Beauty also boasted of a stellar supporting cast, which had Liv Tyler, Joseph Fiennes, Jeremy Irons, Sinéad Cusack and Rachel Weisz.

The setting: Finding Fanny bears a stark similarity to the plot of Stealing Beauty. While the Hollywood film is set in Italy, Finding Fanny is set in Goa.

The character: In SB, Liv plays this character of an American teenage girl, who travels to a lush Tuscan villa after her mom commits suicide. Her dead mother left Lucy her diary which points out she was conceived on this very hilltop, but doesn’t say who her father is; Lucy has to find out. In this journey to find her father, Lucy falls for a young lad.

In Finding Fanny, Dippy, who loses her husband (played by current flame Ranveer Singh) gets romantically involved with Arjun Kapoor, goes on a road trip with Dimple, Pankaj and Naseeruddin to find Naseer’s love Stephanie Fernandez. Sounds similar, doesn’t it?

The good girl Dips plays a virgin in Homi Adajania’s film, same as Liv in Stealing Beauty. The scene where Deepika is seen making out with Arjun in the field is exactly similar to the making-out scene in the Hollywood flick.
