Fan and Sultan to be screened at 21st Busan International Film Festival

Two YRF films – Shah Rukh Khan’s FAN and Salman Khan’s Sultan – will be screened at Asia’s premier film festival, often called the Cannes of Asia – the Busan International Film Festival.

The festival will also serve to kick start the campaign for the theatrical release for both films in South Korea as YRF continues with their commitment of taking the best of Indian cinema to International non-traditional markets.

Sultan and FAN

Director Maneesh Sharma’s Fan will screen in the A Window on Asian Cinema section, one that is vied for by many Asian filmmakers. An archetypal Indian film story narrated and presented in a sleek, internationally appealing format, this screening highlights recognition for the film’s unique content. At Asia’s largest film festival, where 300 films will be screened from 29 countries this year, Fan has a special marquee screening position.

Director Ali Abbas Zafar’s record-breaking blockbuster, Sultan, will be screened at the popular Open Cinema section at Busan. A line up of Asian films that draws maximum audiences, Sultan, with its winsome story, captures mainstream Indian cinema’s best qualities. With memorable performances from Salman Khan, Anushka Sharma and its ensemble cast, cinema experts at the festival will keenly watch this film.

FAN, released in theatres in April this year, collected Rs 84.5 crore at the domestic box office and fell just short of the 200 crore mark (186 crore gross) worldwide. Sultan was released during the Eid weekend. The film collected Rs 302 crore in India and went on to amassed more than 580 crore (gross) worldwide.

  • SULTAN is a great choice, last year Bajrangi Bhaijaan also screened in Busan International Film Festival and it got the Standing Ovation from 5000 people, and now this year Sultan……Great Going Salman…..

  • FAN is really a bad choice there are other great movies which they can take, but I think it’s because of YRF……Again Srk backed by the YRF….

  • @tejan Srivastav,bust after watching phultan,definitely Cannes Walon ka Indian actors pe bharosha uth jayega.but KING KHAN’S MASTERPIECE ACTING will save THE SHOW and prestige of Bollywood there.

    Non actor lallu through out film did non acting in phultan,and only shown one wrestling step with one suplex move what lallutards are thinking wrestling,rofl.sab EID ka jalwa hain,otherwise this gunday legend’s movie wouldn’t deserve even 50cr too though they used KING KHAN’S NAME in the movie.last not but not least @indicine what a joke??????record breaking movie phultan?????really?????but HNY’S OPENING+PK’S LIFETIME at still safe infact Harshali Malhotra’s bb record are still safe.non actor has no aukat to break a single record,rofl.
