New Delhi: The premiere of 'Finding Fanny' will be held on August 25, 17 days before its release date.

Hope this strategy generates an actively interested forum for Finding Fanny.",says the producer Dinesh Vijan as quoted by a leading daily.
Shikha Kapur, chief marketing officer of Fox Star Studios, adds, "A story this strong deserves a unique marketing approach. So, we are inverting the normal course of promotional campaigns and will commence ours with the premiere of the film."
