Fans of Shahrukh Khan are a disappointed lot. The countdown to Independence Day had already begun. There weren’t any reports in the media of ‘FAN’ facing delays either (even though internally there were murmurs within the industry yesterday). Just then comes a tweet from Karan Johar that FAN has been postponed and it would be ‘Brothers’ arriving on Independence Day instead. Suddenly, the next Shahrukh Khan film doesn’t even have a date – whether it’s Fan, Raees or Rohit Shetty film!
But now that the Maneesh Sharma film has been postponed, the big question is what’s the next best release date?
The date of release is important because there are reports that SRK and Rohit Shetty are planning to release their next film during Christmas this year. Now, if that film is coming in December, FAN has to release before October or after March 2016 – there has to be a gap of atleast 3-4 months between two SRK films.
Late September: There are only two films scheduled for release in the month of September – Shahid Kapoor’s Shandaar and Imran Khan’s Katti Batti. However, a September release is highly unlikely.
October 2nd: Singh Is Bling goes on floors in April and has been confirmed to release on Gandhi Jayanti. John Abraham’s Rocky Handsome is arriving on the same day too. But if YRF want this date, they would get it.
The rest of October falls under the ‘Pre-Diwali’ period, with just one film ‘MS Dhoni Biopic’ scheduled on October 22nd. Diwali has a big release in Salman Khan’s ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’. Towards the end of November there is Ranbir Kapoor’s Jagga Jasoos.
If SRK – Rohit Shetty film isn’t complete by Christmas, then YRF could be looking at releasing FAN during that period. But reliable reports suggest that FAN isn’t commercial enough for a big festival release.
It’ll be interesting to see when YRF decide to release FAN. Almost all major release dates have been taken by big films. Will the film be pushed to 2016? If that’s the case, when will Raees release?
YRF tweet: YRF’s #FAN release being delayed to complete never-seen-before VFX. New date coming soon.
Which is the next best release date for Fan? Tell us in the comments section below.
Thank you for publishing 2 of my 7 comments aimed at Nipun Lootera on the other article…! RespexXxXx
Once again I dont see why you deem it necessary to protect the baby n not some village idiot like some buddha whom you like seeing getting bashed in public..! What are you afraid of that if you let nipun get bashed here then he may start writing crappy manipulative reviews about your articles on twitter…? Well dont be… Hes only got 80 kindergarten age kids as followers so I just dont understand why he gets preferential treatment. You let him use the FCUK ending in ING word on numerous instances- he can call me ‘navina’ but Im not allowed to call him ‘nipung’ or ‘nipun kumari’…. Please come on what is going on here……
PS the same goes for ‘kShitij’- is he your swami that prays for your well being hence you dont want anyone offending him…?
Oh no Mr Moderator you allowed our complaining complan boy Suresh Sulkingnath Subhramanic to call ‘nipun’ ‘NIPUM’ but Im not allowed to call him ‘nipung’…! Rectify the error immediately please.
Uproar in nipun household as we speak but you can always tell the baby on twitter that SSS is retarded so it was a honest mistake by him in misspelling ‘nipums’ name as the retard has problems of his own writing his abbreviated name ‘CCB SSS aka DCB’ (Complaining Complan Boy Suresh Sulkingnath Subhramaniac aka Deleted Comments Baadshah)
@navin: i have 102 followers! Btw, u are crying much more than babies!
@nipum
102 followers….! Haha dont think that will impress krk let alone rajeev or anupama…. You joke- better apply for an apprenticeship with krk as he occasionally needs a rest so he would need someone as equally stupid n immature to step in for him when hes not writing reviews…! you may succeed with him as you already are a stupid critic in the making…!
My 7 comments for nipun were as follows as I was unsure which ID to address….
1- Nipun Senior
2- Daddy Nipun
3- Nipun Kumar
4- Nipun Alcoholic

@navin,auncle though your comment is looking so frustrated but it is too funny.that name especially suresh was too funny as it’s a south name but I’m not a south Indian though living in Hyderabad,I think you have major problem with nipun Kumar ,why don’t you both come face to face outside and build a mutual relationship.

i think it should release on 2nd oct.
yrf plz dont delay it to 2016.
also i want rohit shetty-srk starrrer to release in christmas.
Aamir will be seen as a 19-year-old boy, a 29-year-old guy and 55-year-old man. However, he will be majorly seen in his fifties in the film.The movie is a biopic of wrestler Mahavir Phogat, who is father to wrestlers Geeta and Babita Kumari. And Aamir will be seen as the father of two grown up girls in film
But dangal pandey will be another flop of amir.only KING KHAN ruled ruled from 90’s up to now.rest 2 khans remained over a decade.
disappointed a lot……..
Whenever they feel.They will release FAN…
We the audience will go and watch srk movie….Because we all love him
