One of Bollywood’s most successful actors, Shahrukh Khan, has already signed three new films in 2015, and will be released later this year. As we’ve been seeing some behind-the-scene looks of his upcoming film “Fan,” we are now getting some full details about the movie.
We’ve been teased with a few sneak peeks into the movie, but now new reports are stating that “Fan” is facing some legal trouble due to the script of the film.
Scriptwriter Mohan Kumar Nagar claimed that the movie is a cop of his story, “Dummy,” and he has filed claims with Dindoshi court. Nagar alleged that the film’s story bears striking resemblance with his story that he had written with film writers association in 2009.
The trailer is apparently quite similar to the script he had written. Nagar took to Facebook to post a message for Yash Raj films to reveal the name of the writer. He asked the production house why the name of the writer wasn’t mentioned in the credits anywhere, but he then deleted the post.
However, a source from the film’s production told Bollywood Life that the script is completely original and was written by Maneesh Sharma.
“‘Fan’ is an original story and the idea is something that has stayed with Maneesh for 12 years and it’s a dream that has now been realized,” said the source.
YRF revealed the trailer for “Fan” on Feb. 29 at an event that was held at the Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai. For the first time, the production company opened the YRF gate for fans to experience the trailer at the iconic Yash Raj Studios in Andheri West.
The trailer comes after the release of two teaser videos and one song, “Jabra,” which recently released.
The first song from the movie called “Jabra Fan” recently released and it’s already receiving a lot of attention. The song has been named the movie’s anthem, “#FanAnthem,” and has already gained over 357,000 views.
Yash Raj Films released the video showing SRK playing the fan named Gaurav dancing around the streets of Mumbai while idolizing his favorite celebrity.
SRK will be playing himself in “Fan,” which has a double role where he plays the superstar as well as his biggest fan.
“‘Fan’ is not just about the love of the fan for his favorite superstar. In the film, eventually Guarav and Aryan are pitted against each other and it’s the superstar who plays the nemesis to the fan,” said a source about the film.
SRK will be playing two different ages in the film and confirms, “What I do in ‘Fan’ is what the film is about. Gaurav is 25 years old in the film and it’s not because I want to play or look like a 25-year-old in my film. It’s a story about a 25-year-old fan and a 45-year-old superstar. The character of Aryan Khanna has still not been introduced so when we reveal his look, the difference should be evident. When the comparison will come to the fore, it will look really beautiful, inshallah!”
