- At the book launch, Twinkle went on to read her favourite verse from the book.
- By the time Homi finished his screenplay, Kersi was sitting on a manuscript and asked for his permission to publish it as a book.
- During the shoot of 'Finding Fanny', Homi would narrate a scene to Kersi after sketching out the story, and he would send it back fleshed out as a chapter.
- “Kersi wrote in the style of a novel, meandering through the minds of the characters and helping me set scenes with evocative word pictures.His writing evoked such brilliant imagery that it was a joy for me as a filmmaker to sink my teeth into it when converting it into a screenplay,†Homi said about the author.
- 'Finding Fanny' that was directed by Homi, starred Naseerudin Shah, Deepika Padukone and Arjun Kapoor in leading roles.
- Kesri Khambatta's 'The Village Of Pointless Conversation' has been based on the 2014 film 'Finding Fanny'.
