Shah Rukh Khan to Gaurav Chandna: Red Chillies VFX

The task of transforming Shah Rukh Khan into Gaurav Chandna (a young man in his early-20s) was a massive task for Red Chillies VFX. The results were astounding as not only did Gaurav look much younger than the 50-year-old superstar, but he also looked shorter and thinner.

Visual effects had to be applied to almost every scene to make the film and the main character look convincing on-screen.

On Saturday, SRK tweeted “The magic of movies & the magicians behind it…” and attached a video titled ‘FAN Showreel’.

Do watch.

  • So what u r saying is that the reason that people think that his acting was awesome was because he pulled off a younger role effortlessly.while all the credit should have been given to vfx team..??
    He acted same in both roles, only different was look

  • Look at Srk he is looking so old so many wrinkles on his face…only makeup and VFX can make him young…I think this is high time for Srk to start doing Grandfather roles…also he cannot pull Box office alone he needs Big Actress and Banner and Director and supporting cast to give big numbers…

  • Without yrf/dharma/big heroines, he would have been auditioning for MTV roadies/mtv splisvilla/ utv bindaas dadsgiri, etc. He is fan less over actor.

  • Srk was outstanding as guarav and was excellent as Aryan. This was undoubtedly one of srk best performance.

  • @Salman Fan-The following films all had big actresses and star cast–Chal mer,e bhai, har dil jo pyar karega, chori chori chupke chupke,Kyonki,Jaan-E-Mann,Baabul,Salaam-E-Ishq,God Tussi Great Ho,Heroes,Yuvvraaj,Main Aur Mrs Khanna,London Dreams.
    What were their verdict? None are hits, some are disasters. Why can’t Lallu give hits with them?
    SRK strikes amazing chemistry with his costars, what does Lallu do? Spoils the charm of the cast with zero chemistry and zero acting skill.

    And don’t cry about big directors. SRK made Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar. THe idea of Yash Chopra working with Lallu itself is laughable. Legendary directors look for great actors, like Yash Chopra did.

  • @IambollywoodFan-Peekay hain kya? Critics and audience all over said how different were the two characters and you are telling a new story saying both were same except for look!! The VFX team also ACTED as gaurav and aryan, that you want to give whole credit to them? Critics said it was a pathbreaking performance and some even said only SRK could do it. Don’t cry when all the awards next year go to SRK as expected.

  • Didnt realize many of the scenes in the movie were cgi…grt work red chillies….on of the best that our country can offer

  • Amazing.. Great potential work by Red chillies, though the box office tanked but we appreciated for the hard work behind…

  • Yuvraj – For ppl who adore movies such as ready, bodyguard, ett, dabang 2, jai ho, for them FAN should look not third class but tenth class ……. For sallu fans it is in reverse order when we talk about acting, performance n class movies …….

  • @yuvraj,3rd class movies are dabang,ready,bg,ett,dabang 2,jail ho,kick,bhojpuri bhaijaan,prdp and now sultana daku.

    @abhay maljotra,and with out fully papa / chacha your tingu idol would have begging in road side and after 2000,he would have do watchman job in MANNAT ,if south remake/raju papa/brand shook wouldn’t have come to save his back,isn’t it?,rofl.

    @Salman fan,the thing is yes HE has very negligible wrinkle which is looking due very much cooking.while your salmir’s face swelled like gorilla’s face not only that with too with some wrinkles and BIGB is looking so better than those two retards,believe me.

  • @xzone : You keep digging Salman past and now want to run away from a month old debacle. This clears your personality in front of world !!!!! Hypocrisy at peak !!!!!!!

  • @sss : Try something new everyone is sick & tired of repeated rants your loser Fans !!!!!! Meoww bhai ran away & FAN flopped aukaat mein reh 2 rupees punny FAN !!!!!!!!

  • Just funny to read “Gaurav and Azhar ” the best performances of the year, “where were you when you had to go to the cinema? Unpredictable Indian audience – better performance – flop performance

  • Very funny to read these fights fans “SRK looks bad with his wrinkles, No, Aamir and Salman looks bad with their wrinkles,” hello guys, you want 50 year-old man looked like 20 years old youths? do not be ridiculous

  • @sss without yrf/dharma/big heroines, tiny queen kong would have been cleaning the house of Megastar Aamir khan.
