Shahrukh Khan’s FAN postponed, Brothers to release on 14th August

Shahrukh Khan’s keenly awaited film ‘FAN’ has been postponed to a later date as the makers need more time to complete shooting the pending scenes and visual effects of the film.

Sources say, Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj Films contacted his friend Karan Johar and gave him the ‘Independence Day’ weekend. Karan will now release Akshay Kumar’s Brothers on 14th August. The film was previously scheduled for a July 31 release.

Karan made the announcement on Twitter “Adi just called and asked me to release BROTHERS on the 14th of August, 2015 as FAN is postponed… gestures likes this make my day special…”

A source close to Yash Raj Films also said that director Maneesh Sharma will be working closely with SRK’s award-winning Red Chillies VFX to create some never-before-seen visual effects in FAN.

Shahrukh Khan will be playing a double role in a film.

As of now, YRF hasn’t announced a new release date for Fan. But it will be interesting to see if they target the Christmas weekend as Rohit Shetty’s film with SRK is yet to go on floors.

  • From the reports it suggest that FAN has a strong script and content rich film…so it will do good even in non holiday…a holiday release will be icing on the cake…:-)

  • Great news for Akshay! Very happy to see Brothers release on holiday. SRK should release FAN on Christmas. Yes, FAN might not earn as big as Shetty’s film, but i expect it to be a great film and good films deserve holiday releases. Waiting for both FAN and Brothers!

  • Would be happy to see SRk release FAN on Christmas and thrash Bhansali like he did with Sawaariya. Fan has both superstar power and looks rich on content while Bhansali is the same cliche working with a flop actor. Won’t say anything about Tamaasha (Imtiaz is one of my favorites) but it’d be great fun to see Bhansali’s cliched project being thrashed badly by SRK!

  • Bad news for Srkfans! Good news for Akkifans and Sidfans!
    I am waiting for both the films! Maneesh Sharma and Karan Malhotra, both are good director!

    @gj007: seriously I cann’t understand why you hate SLB so much? Was HDDCS a bad film? Was Devdas and Black were bad films? And, even were Guzaarish and Ramleela were bad films?
    I think SLB is a skilled director and his films are well-shot! Although,sometimes some emotions in his films look unrealistic and a bit manipulative!

  • what d hell..I was desperately waiting for FAN..and again it is postponded..really disappointed..no problem I will wait 4 d movie..SRK rulz..

  • now what will srk do without national holiday ?? all khans should be brought out from their holiday stardom camouflage!! every actor deserves to release his or her film on national holiday. its not khan’ paternal property.

    @gj007, Tamasha is also there on christmas, btw bajirao mastani will be more grand than mediocre filmmaker maneesh sharma’s fan. let khans bite the dust.

  • Yeah congo to akki fans as Brothers have now good potential to make good score.
    Bad luck for srk fans including me as we will have to more but yeah i hope both Brothers and Fan be good movies and will do good business also..
    Good luck to both..

  • @nipun ….. Guzaarish maybe gud …… But ramleela was the crappiest film of flop actor ranvver …….. Ram leela worked due to deepika ‘s hotness ……

  • @nipun

    Ram Leela and Sawaariya were torturous if you ask me. Yes, Devdas, HDDCS and Khamoshi were great films BUT Bhansali has backed regressive films like Rowdy Rathore and I hate him for that.

    Calling a woman “mera Maal” is down right intolerable and I blame the producer and director for making such an awful film. Bhansali is good at mounting sets but this pseudo-intellectual is making the same films for all his life, either a handicap story or a failed love story. And mind you he has made 6 films one after the other following same format.

  • @nipun ….. Guzaarish maybe gud …… But ramleela was the crappiest film of flop actor ranvver …….. Ram leela worked due to deepika ‘s hotness ……!! .,,

  • @punk

    Really? Have you watched Do Dooni Chaar? One of most realistic comedies written by Habib Faisal, the writer of Fan. Faisal writes ‘realistic’ movies unlike Bhansali’s so called “grand” cringe-fest. Guzarrish was his last film I enjoyed (strictly due to Hrithik) before Devdas. Mark my words, Fan will be the next Chak De for Srk.

  • wht d hell??? is dat called a decision???…. we thought dat srk will have 2 release bt now he wud have only 1 release…as christmas is d last option

  • christmas aamir dangal or srk fan or ranbir tamasha or ranveer bhajirao mastani ?? what will happen interesting to see :Di think srk will capture date of christmas

  • As I predicted first Fan has turned into a sequel to Billu…! Plot has got lost like Anurags Bombay Velvet n entire movie needs to be reshot so it seems…!

    Makers should now do the only thing they can do n that is call the film ‘Billu Fan’…!

  • Looks like an appropriate sequel to the ATBB ‘billu barber’, instead of naming the movie as usha fan it should have been named as ‘billu barber bangaya thullu barber’, lol srk fans are talking about content in his movies, yeah why not because movies like ra.1, donk 2, jthj, ce & hny had the such great contents in them. usha fan being a non-holiday release would definitely do more than srk’s last non-holiday release mnik, so 75 crores tho pukka hei :D

  • Kings double role in Billu Fan will see him Reprise Irrfans role in original Billu as Billu n he will also be a big fan of superstar Sarkar…!

    Duplicate 2 could be end result- disaster with a double dose of overacting.. X!

  • Oh no!!!!! I dont care holiday or not I dont care 200 or 300 cr I want FAN to release as soon as possible….cant wait man…..n akshay had last laugh with this……very good news for akki n his fans….

  • @nipun, agree with you..and it’s not only about devdas, hddcs and black; his first film
    khamoshi was also a classic..

  • Biggest disappointing news of the year…Why yrf why?you could sought out his problem…..Anyways now we have to wait a little more…
    @indicine is there any idea which date they are aiming for…are they looking for diwali??
    @punk No one stops Non khans releasing films on holidays….They tried many times but could not taste the success like khans……..so better stop crying
