Yash Raj Films’ FAN is getting more interesting with each passing day, as Shahrukh Khan has announced that he will be playing the role of a 17-year-old in the Maneesh Sharma directed film.
Talking to reporters from the sets of ‘India Poochega – Sabse Shaana Kaun’, the superstar said “The film (FAN) is very different. I will be playing 17 years old and I’ll take some help to do it. Perhaps with prosthetics, makeup or VFX”
While Shahrukh has been seen romancing heroines almost half his age, the 35-year-old former super model Waluscha De Sousa has been cast to play the lead in FAN. (article continued after the image)
Shahrukh Khan
When asked if he has made a conscious decision to cast heroines closer to his age, SRK said “Yes, Waluscha is in the film. More than age-appropriate heroines, it’s normally character-appropriate casting. What you actually have to understand is, mostly, for films that are not driven by commercial aspect, they are character-appropriate casting”
First announced to release in theatres during the Independence Day weekend, YRF’s FAN has now been postponed to a later date. The reason cited for the delay is ‘never before seen VFX’.
Shahrukh will be playing a 17 year old teenager as well as a mega star in the film.
Just one thing
laugh out loud
Good to see SRK doing challenging roles after 2 back to back rubbish films CE & HNY.He should do more content driven films
Big bore
king khan is the best of the best,,,,
Srk will play a Megastar just like himesh
Our king is doing a 17 year old hope this will help our king to gain the faith of teenagers
Such a stupid story
but suits srk who always praises himself in real life now taking it to reel life
No Matter what, SRK has ruled bollywood and every generation since he came and will keep ruling (y) Respect..
Now v want this 17 year old fan to praise megastar in each and every scene callin him king,baadshah,global icon etc
wow
Now srk can cast alia
17 year old lol
That MAN knows how to defeat impossible things.this is not new for me.as KING KHAN ready played 26 aged romantic boy role in JTHJ.still it’s surprise again even lower age again.HE is really looking 17 year age man in that blue shirt wearing photos.though DILWALE will make surprise at BO,but FAN will mesmerize everybody for sure.being a FAN of KING KHAN,what FANS can expect from THEIR MEGASTAR,other than a giving a treat on their name.still no superstar in the world could give their FANS such treat.OUR MEGASTAR KING SRK is really great.
KING KHAN once again proved when it comes to verstatilty,everybody seems a child in front of HIM considering TRUE CLASS.HAIL the most GENUINE VERSATILE ACTOR of EARTH KING KHAN.
I mean whats wrong?
Every 2nd article on indicine.com is either related to SRK or his movie FAN.
Even the most smallest of detail of them here is published as a full-fledged article everyday.
Vfx can only alter the looks not that manz talent which he dnt have anyway srkians prepare for the oscars
wowww excellent news
um gonna love it even more
fan should release this year only#fingers crossed
our king looks like a 71 year old in real life but to make him look like a 17 year old……………. oh my god it will a huge huge challenge, it will need a hell lot of money for the prostetic make up+ lal mirchi team’s cheap d grade vfx effects for 71 days. i guess more than 71%+17% of the total movie budget will be allocated for just this purpose, isse acha tho big b ko he lelethe, with just a fraction of that make up big b would look like a 7 year old, remember Paa! lol……
This ‘content driven but not the electricity driven’ fan’s electricity bill i.e collections will compete with ‘bang bang’ & yjhd , will not do more than 185 crores but then fans will say that its not a masala movie but a ‘content driven’ one…. like ra.1, don 1 &2, jthj hahaha lol :D
Now a 17 year old guy gonna do high octane actions………king roxxx.
@Indicine, why are you blocking my comments even not abuse word? Because i’m living in Myanmar. Right indicine….. thanks you so much for blocking.

much n whats the vfx team is doing.they r
working too hard to remove wrinkles on our
king face to make him look like a 17 year
old.all d best king srk.hope fan ll beat hny.
@indicine why so many articles of overactor srk. there are other stars also in bollywood be fair to all stop this bias.
Will be a disaster of epic proportions, the look that is.
oh Come on SRK to play 17 yrs?? no way. this would be a torture.
why didnt he ask directors to cast Aryan Khan for that role. it would be a great choice.
this news is just fantastic……SRK playing a 17 yrs fan ? i cant imagine it will be mind blowing when it is release? cant wait KING KHAN love you??????
now fan will be the biggest movie ever!

I just want fan to release on 2nd October..Please make an announcement.. I had read in a leading daily that Only 10 days of shooting are left so there is a lot of time for vfx..
This photo shown is old one,lol.this is not the one that the article talking about.
But what haters can do?amir showed them a masala movie pk in the name of classic,lol.so their jealousy easily can be predicted.this time WE are not interesting in BO collection.as someone trying to tease FAN couldn’t cross HNY collection.but DILWALE will clear their confusion.I want FAN to release on this DEEWALI.
@truth,your one actor is non actor and another one is complete over actor.even KING KHAN’S overacting also better than our perfaketionist’s best overacting in pk.
