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.
Salman’s 2nd film selected 1st bajrangi bhaijaan
FAN really deserve to be screened at Busan film festival.no matter how much it collects at box office.in fan SRK did best acting after chak de india. But sad thing is no salman fans understand this.
Sultan will get standing ovation ..! And
Fan will give air to all standing ovation people !
They wanna sell FANs at the filmfestival under the sponsorship of Sultan just like Kukreja sold Rice Cookers in the film. ?
Lagta hai, YRF wants to scare away a section of audiences from the festival by showing horrible self-obsessesed over-acting of Kingu in fan.
But Thank God, there is Sultan to thrill the audiences and save the dignity of Hindi films with natural acting and cooling screen presence of Salman Khan…
After so much pains caused by Rakeshji today, this piece of news may serve as a temporary pain killer for the kingu fans.
Well, it’s 100% sure that Sultan will now be internationally applauded just like Bajrangi Bhaijaan..
@sss Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry you still haven’t gotten over the humiliation suffered when SRK moved away from Eid.When all fans of ‘duniya ka sabse bada superstar’ couldn’t take Fan over 84crore shame on you shemless
Airlift is also to screened at Jagran film festival post about that also na
Yes Sultan will internationally applauded because it has many bikini scenes. Fan was 100 Times better than Sultan.no matter how it performed at box office.it has very sweet,unique and emotional story.
Honestly both fan and sultan shud’nt be shown in busan film festival. There are better movies like Neerja and Airlift.
I like the acting of SRK in Fan!
@qasim,it seems you’re crying so hard 2010 born non actor ke aulad.t era bhai ek star bhi nahi thaa 2010 pehle.koi aukaat nahi tum logo ki,rofl.so jyaada bhonk mat,rofl.
Ha ha ha ha due to friendship with ADIJI-YRF ,lallu got EID bheek from KING KHAN.othereise KING KHAN would have did kutte jaisi halat to your 2010 born non actor till now ,which HE already did to your 2010 born non actor 5 TIMES IN A CLASH.still you don’t have any shame you shameless rikshawala?????,rofl.
Oh sorry I forgot,in this decade lallu has 37cr veee disaster.
So 85CR DUNIYA KA SABSE BADA SUPERSTAR is far bigger star than 37cr veee disaster 2010 born papa’s made talentless bhojpuri south remake non actor.
But why you cried?????oh just because phultan can’t break any record and I removed your bikini/chaddi I’m front of everyone?????,rofl.chal bhaag aukatless recordleas non actor fan,rofl.
@anand_the original rikshawala,but bb was due to Harshali.and bloody phultan is seeming like a 3rd grade masala gunday legend”s movie.so don’t worry propel will definitely throw Ghanta and kela to it.and as @indicine also declares FAN AS BEST PERFORMANCE TILL DATE.so FAN PERFORMANCE will remove chaddi/bikini of you non actor there.so don’t worry lallutard.rikshawala’s movies always won only ghanta and kela performances.thanks to ADIJI for taking this shit to Cannes even though no one is interested in this mahacrap,rofl.phultan is a recordless shit,even HNY PERDOEMANCE OF KING SRKBis far better than this Ghanta shi performance of ghanta-kela non actor lallu khan,rofl.
Care about your mara hua tiger who’ll raped badly by Bhansali.and don’t worry about manipulation roshans,after kaabil disaster ,aukat dikha jayegi unki,uske baad aur ek megaflop ke liye woh hat jaayenge,so don’t worry about that,rofl.A nyhow WE’LL win the clashes but care about your all time clash loser 2010 born Papa’s made 1 rupee talentless shit non actor,rofl.
@Prashant abhishek : Unique only for SRK fans ? Still they could not take it beyond 85 crs. Even movies like Traffic, Manjhi, Aligardh, Madaari are unique and good so indirectly you are accepting SRK is in league of Nawaz, Irfan and Manoj Bajpai who can act good but with zero stardom !!!!!!!!
@Prashant abhishek : Why are movies of Sunny Leone like Jackpot, KKLH, Maastizaade are not successful as Sultan if its success and recognition is due to exposure? After all Sunny’s movies have more exposure than Sultan. Forget Sunny, Why didnt Maaya Memsaab was epic failure despite your king’s maha exposure in it ? What a lungi logic !!!!!!!! Lol
Mai to hay re jabra hoy re jabra FAN ho gaya
B-)B-)B-)B-)
Great news
Fan was rejected by every section
of audience in India but these srk fans
blame salman fans only..not just in india
it was also rejected in overseas ..the truth is that FAN was loved by 2/3 of srk fans only
Sultan ???
seriously ?? if only collections matter then Dilwale is any time better choice as it grosser more than Sultan outside the country…
@hrithik the unoriginal-Don’t talk about good acting and zero stardom. Let Lallu do an offbeat movie without songs and heroine and cross 50 crore with it. Lallu himself said during Chak De India that he doesn’t have the guts to do non-mainstream non-commercial movies. Still SRK delivered blockbuster with Chak De which your Lallu can’t accomplish in his lifetime. 2010 born Non-actor lallu’s fans talking about good acting and zero stardom. Lallu was the only star in bollywood who had to suffer from zero stardom during 90’s(6 back to back flops) and 2000(Oh, I have lost count of how many flops he delivered!) Shameless lallu fans talk about stardom when he himself accepts he has no guts to take on challenging roles.
Don’t you feel any shame that inspite of being a star your idol never tries anything that challenges his stardom? Always hiding behind Eid and masala genre and never challenging himself with characters which require some acting? Non-actor lallu fans barking about Fan the truth is if lallu tried a film with no songs, no heroine and non-festive release his film won’t even earn 50 crore, not to mention what a pathetic experience it would be for cinegoers. Even during Chak De, your lallu accepted that he will never try anything offbeat and will always go for the commercial entertainers. Now lallu fans are barking about Fan which is being considered as a path breaking performance as far as acting is considered. SRK is both the biggest global star and one of the greatest actors. Unlike non-actor lallu who is just a local star with no acting skills. Have some shame lallu fans, who never does anything challenging.
@NN : If u don’t know the reality do not simply blabber for sake of it. Chak De India was not non stream movie, it was a Sports genre without any A list actress and masala ingredients still it was a Commercial movie. Coming to Salman, he did a movie like Phir Milenge which even WHO (World Health Organization) applauded the only thing was there were not much audience for such movie at that time it was all about how HIV patients lives changes. Please go back to class room and learn something before arguing with me.
@NN (Nanga Neanderthal), ha ha ha Kya Khub kaha aur Kya excuse hai for Phanka failure?
FAN (that also had two partial holidays and a well-received trailer in its favor), which flopped badly. Where was the star power of the biggest global star then? He even lost to an outsider kid Mowgli (WHO should be nothing before the GLOBAL star) at his home ground. Forget about the new kid in BM, who had badly thrashed the biggest global star. Kyun, Mirchi lagi now?
You all come up with your typical silly excuse for Phanka’s failure. That is it flopped because it was an off-beat film. So, let me explain that too.
CM’on jokers, he is the biggest global superstar. How come his off-beat films should also fail badly? Lol
Before the release, you would applaud it to be content rich, for it’s class director, for YRF banner, for its well-received trailer and for his dedication to his fans. You would tip it to be a super hit or a BB.
Before the release, you would chant that Dilwale was a masala film. Now, kingu is back with a content rich film and content rich films are working big time these days. So will Phanka.
When flopped, suddenly call it an off-beat film? ROFL! Masters of excuses!
Well, FAN is no way an off-beat film. It was a commercial film, although not a very massy film! Indicine has, too, again and again said it. It has actions, romance, dialogue baazi, drama, foreign locations etc…..
Shooting actions stylishly in foreign locations do not make a film OFF-BEAT. Not having SONGS do not make a film OFF-BEAT. Bollywood songs are about romance. The makers saw no room to put any songs in the film, unless Aryan and Gauravv were coupled/ pitted with each other for songs romancing each other. LOL
If you still call it an off-beat film, we would call ETT an off-beat film with songs.
The theme of FAN is a mainstream tried and tested concept of a relationship between a superstar and a fan albeit presented in a different way.
In spite of the so-called negative factors or being an off-beat fan. FAN should have at least been a hit because he is the biggest global star with 3.7 Billion fans worldwide. C’mon, say it!
Those billion of fans would have watched FAN, no? Warna Woh Kaise Global Star Hua, the grandson of Einstein? Or all those are fans just written on Tissue Papers? Ha ha ha
@hrithik the unoriginal-So Chak De India has become a commercial movie just because it became a blockbuster due to SRK? Then why did lallu reject it if it was a commercial movie, didn’t he say in the interview that he was only opting to do entertaining commercial films back then, and Chak De didn’t fall in that category? How many challenging roles did he do except Phir Milenge(and Phir Milenge’s lead was Shilpa Shetty not Lallu)? And why do you advise someone to in classroom learn inspite of being a member of the illiterate fanbase. Don’t you feel any shame due to Lallu’s garbage films that he delivered one after another to feed his rickshawala fanbase?

OMG !! Hahahaha These sallu fans are so funny. CDI has become a commercial movie for them.

@NN : You fool, Even Munna Bhai, ETT and 3 idiots were commercial movies to which your queen rejected likewise Salman have his right to accept or refuse movie offers as per his wish and choices. Do you think only your queen have exclusive rights to make choices ? Your questions are signs of stupidity it is like asking why SRK never did a tough cop role in his career or ay be a Tere Naam or Ghajini? or expecting Big B to do role of tough wrestler like Dharam ji in his era. Every actor have limitations including SRK. CDI was very much a commercial movie but it was different and fresh from regular comedies and romantic movies which were releasing at that time. First learn the difference between commercial and non commercial. I am not fool like you to blindly degrade every thing SRK have done, I know where to give respect and where to bash !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ Anand the original Takla-About Fan:
*” It has actions, romance, dialogue baazi, drama, foreign locations etc…..” Romance??!!!!Really?!!
*”Not having SONGS do not make a film OFF-BEAT. Bollywood songs are about romance. The makers saw no room to put any songs in the film, unless Aryan and Gauravv were coupled/ pitted with each other for songs romancing each other. LOL”- Then why did Bajrangi Bhaijaan had songs moron? Were Munni and Bajrangi romancing one another?
*”If you still call it an off-beat film, we would call ETT an off-beat film with songs”- Shows why rickhsawala fanbase of Lallu is called the dumbest fanbase on earth!!!
*”The theme of FAN is a mainstream tried and tested concept of a relationship between a superstar and a fan albeit presented in a different way.” I mean really? Tried and tested? Where? In Lallu films? Name me one film which tried and tested the concept of relationship between a superstar and a fan!!
Such a long dumb post with no logic and reality, and you are copy pasting it in every Indicine article? Just because SRK is the biggest moviestar in the world, SRK can’t experiment with films to see whether the content clicks with audience or not? Can you imagine Lallu doing that? Never. Because that will show his real aukaat as the film won’t even gross 50 crores.
@hrithik- Lallu can accept or reject whatever he wants with his IQless brain but it was the reason behind the refusal that I was pointing at. Didn’t he mention this-
“That was not my genre at that point of time. It was more serious kind of film and I was doing more of a commercial kind of cinema which I am still doing. I would never move out of COMMERCIAL cinema zone…”
So he himself accepted that CDI was not the kind of commercial films he does. You are yourself contradicting what your favourite said. Personally I am not into copypasting what filmstars say, since they say a lot of things out of diplomacy/friendliness etc but this wasn’t the case where he was trying to be humble. And for your “every actor has his limitations” Lallu is a proven non-actor. There’s no point pretending that he has few limitations. The whole acting skill is his limitation.
@NN : You mean to Say Salman survived in industry for 27 years & among most bankable star due to his family & looks ? Then why is Abhishek Bachchan, Vivek, Fardeen failed to achieve the stardom of Salman despite having family support or why not very good looking models turned actors vanished after couple of years. If he is non actor producers are not fool to invest crores of rupees on him. Please get treated and get well soon !!!!!!! Srk is a limited actor he can never do Tere Naam or Dabangg !!!!!!!!
@hrithik-Yeah, mostly because of his family and looks, look at Katrina Kaif the non-actress, she is also a non-actress and surviving well inspite of her films bombing. Abhishek Bacchan, Vivek and Fardeen all had family support but didn’t have the style and all the handsome looking models didn’t have as much family support as lallu had. If lallu had been an actor, acting would have been his passion and he wouldn’t have been afraid of the non-commercial zone. And SRK has done far greater roles than Tere Naam and Dabangg(Dabangg was a role for acting? Seriously? It was just a stylish role with shaking of belts and sunglasses. Even akki can do dabang better because he has greater stunt skills and I am no fan of akki). Specially Tere Naam is a piece of cake for SRK who has excelled unparralledly in love stories. It’s just a shame that SRK has to be compared with lallu-the non-actor in terms of acting. Just be happy with the fact that lallu is a big star but a proven non-actor.

Producers were also investing crores of rupees on him in the 90’s(6 back to back flops with trash contents) and 2000’s when he was delivering garbage after garbage. That’s why he didn’t get the international recognition that SRK has. His films(except a few like BB, tere naam) are suited for gawar rickshawala fanbase.
@Indicine-I edited my comment and that’s why posted this comment again. Hope you post it.
