Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is all set to make an International concert -like entry with the song 'Mohabbat' choreographed by Frank Gatson Jr. for the upcoming project.

Frank Gatson Jr. has been the creative director for Jussie Smollett, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce.

She will be seen playing the role of a singer in the Rajkumar Rao starrer 'Fanney Khan'.

The introductory song is touted to be one of the highlights of the musical family entertainer.

Talking about the introductory song featuring 'Guru' actress, debutant director Atul Manjrekar said, "The concept of the song came through Aishwarya's character in the film. She plays a diva, a singing star. She's the number one singer and the most beautiful woman in the country. The song sees her character touring across India and performing in front of a live audience. For the sequence, we referenced recent concerts that featured Arijit Singh, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay. That was the starting point".

A one of its kind musical comedy, Fanney Khan is a story about a father who wishes to fulfill the dream of his daughter who is an aspirational singer.

It is after 17 years Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are coming together for a film.

'Fanney Khan' is a one of its kind musical comedy, revolving around a father who wishes to fulfil his daughter's dream of becoming a singer.

Rajkummar Rao will be portraying the love interest of Aishwarya in the film.

Helmed by Atul Manjrekar, the film is slated to hit the screens on August 3 this year.
