Dressing up Anil Kapoor in Fanney Khan proved to be a tightrope task for designer Eka Lakhani, given that while his attire had to border on being garish, his character of a cab driver, did not. Kapoor had spent days to grow his salt-and-pepper hair for Atul Manjrekar's directorial venture, and getting the style file on point was equally important.

Talking to mid-day, Lakhani said, "AK [Kapoor] was excited about going through the process of creating costumes with me. He told me how important each look has been for him in every film. He defined his character as that of a man with simple tastes, but one who finds himself in complicated situations."
