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.

  • Well well well this news made my day…
    First 30cr day for akki is arriving soon…

    @gj007:Habib faisal also wrote and directed crapfest daawat e ishq.Also i can’t trust maneesh sharma,i liked his BBB but ladies vs r.bahl and SDR were strictly mediocre films for me.
    But who knows they might turn up good with FAN..

    I think now yrf will try for the oct.2 slot…
    But akki has confirmed SIB for oct.2,lets see what happens!!

  • @yymithaiwala: sadly, I haven’t watched Khamoshi.

    @gj007:
    there are many directors in the industry who are known for making one kind of films. If SLB is doing movies of one genre or one type, there is nothing wrong unless the film is bad. For me, HDDCS,Devdas and Black were classics while Guzaarish and Ramleela were two good films!

  • Now thus is another BIGGEST nigtmare for haters.now world class vfx movie FAN will snatch the CHRISTMAS.I mean pk’s record will be broken with in a year!right.

    @punk,baby don’t worry slb will surely shift the reader date of bajirao mastani as it’s his dream project if he dare to clash then he will get another saawariya.BTW those directors whom you called mediocre even seems mpre classic than yours after worked with KING KHAN.so need of jealousy,friends.we gave so much for sllu and akki ,especially to lallu let’s see how much bhikari bhaijaan can earn.about ranbir’s tamasha it will be again postponed because imtiaz-ranbit can’t stand against KING KHAN.so FAN will be THE BIGGEST SOLO RELEASE ,so get ready for another biggest slap haters.

  • I am happy for Akshay sir, now singham returns 32 crore independence day record will be break by Akshay’s Brothers.
    for brothers sure 150 crore

  • This is absolutely bad decision for Karan Johar.If Srk film release with Akshay Srk film will Super hit. Srk film will release another date his film will also be super hit. So Akshay film will be flop if it release with Fan

  • @babaji

    I actually quite enjoyed SDR. May be because I genuinely like Sushant.

    @nipun

    To be honest, I found Guzaarish way better than Black. Black is a very problematic film. At face value we may call it a classic but there were many obnoxious scenes in the film, essentially the one where the student is beaten badly by the teacher so that she behaves properly. It was really disturbing to watch that.

  • I think Akshay Kumar fans(Like me) are the only lucky people in Bollywood as we can watch his movies in theatres when ever we want as his films are released all the time in every genre! On the other hand, fans of say, SRK, Aamir or Hrithik have to wait so much for their movies.. I especially hate SRK(Not because of his acting) because he starts promoting his film from two years back which just makes me angry as Happy New Year released it’s posters and competitions in Jan 2014 while movie released in Oct and teases his fans.

  • @babaji 30 cr opening day it tough for brothers but it had high chance for 80cr weekend as it has 2 holiday.
    Brothers with be a film to watch out for as its akki-dharma first film and second directorial venture of Karan Malhotra after Agneepath.So its great news that it get perfect release date.
    About Maneesh Malhotra I don’t think he is a very good director, his BBB was good but ladies vs Ricky bahl and SDR weren’t even a one time decent watch but Fan will be a big taste and could be a superb film too.
    @gj007 I think you are too harsh on SLB as apart RamLeela and Saawariya he made good films,I loved Hdccs very much.Black and Devdas were good too,haven’t seen Khamoshi and agujaarish though but they were definitely in good films category though I don’t like his attitude.

  • @tiger the real… really is it power of salu???? okk than chal game thoda interesting banaye?? bol apne star ko thoda aur power dikhaye aur leave eid release date and srk k fan k release k ekk week phle ya same day par BBhaijan ko realise kare OK yaa phir thodaaur twist kare kahaani m bol ki prdp diwali ko chhod de and srk rohit next k sath realise kre kyu??? challenged accepted??? yar drrana h toh dhang se darao kyu kya bolta h ??? haha….. bt Jo nxt 5 saal ke hollydays booked kiye huye ho ush se ye umeed tu nhi kar sakta OK ja accha joke tha next maar ;) aur ha jyada mat dara kyu ki tumhara toh booked h yaha dusre ka a hi book karna h aur accha khasa experience h clash ka soo jyada poke karoge toh khi diwaali pe mood ban gaya toh lene k dene pd jayenge….

  • @Gj007,all movies of slb —-DEVDAS,black,guzarish,hddcs all are real classic not wannabe like munna bhai/3i/pkalsalso is not overrated like raju.definitely I think you prefer mass over class.black criticized by 2 idiots —-one amir khan and 2nd one is you.go and watch your raju’s overrated satire.

  • @sky:: U misinterpreted me..i said “first 30cr day for akki is arriving” not “first day 30cr”
    I know 30crs first day will be improbable,even kick n pk could’nt..
    But the second day can cross 30crs if all goes well…

  • @sss khan

    Dear complan boy, who are you declare SLB as “class?” Go and check IMDB. All the Hirani films are 8+ rated and films like Ram-Leela are just 6/10. All of Raju’s films have taken the nation by a storm unlike Bhansali.

    Grow up complain boy! And yes, I’d most certainly watch all of Raju’s “overrated” satires, which most people call “classics” apart from some brainless blind fans.

  • I think SRK wnts a first dAy holidy. maybe he hve doubt on his stardom or Maybe He wnts a festival release.. I feel really Bad when a big actor thinks like a businessman , not like a superstar .

  • @gj007,you’re comparing a class movie with it’s collection?,lol.can you kindly elaborate me the difference between movies like SWADES/CDI/MNIK/DEVDAS/BLACK and munna bhai/lagaan/3i/pk?the huge difference is the former ones are pure talents end with out huge entertainment just like the later ones has.so how those later wannabe movies become so interesting made the nation crazy over is manipulation in the story—-tapori becomes doctor,BAPU is only visible to that tapori/a student becomes topper with out studying a bit/an alien came to earth and taught a lesson to HINDU religious peoples how and whom to worship.after all who can give think such types of illogical thinking’s other than our great raju hirani,lol.BTW I can agree ram LEELA/saawatiya are not up to the mark and couldn’t be considered as classic.but seriously DEVDAS/BLACK is worse than raju’s illogical movies?could you kindly mention a manipulated scene in these movies?rip your llogic.

    BTW IMDb rating depends upon user.if users like the film it will get rating.buy seriously a manipulated thinking scene can made a movie classic,then sorry I’m not that type of viewer.BTW when you said 1st time to me as DIL SE as classic,I thought you’re a sensible watcher who hates JTHJ/MNIK/BLACK and directors like slb/KJO ,then who is this raju hirani,nothing but a manipulated director and so as you’re a overrated.movie watcher wholemeal end leg than sensiblr,lol.kindly under and the meaning of CLASS.

  • @sss : Teri bas ki nahi to understand Raju Hirani movies. For you, Raam Jaane & Duplicate are classics !!!!!!!! :-p

  • Personally I am bit disappointed too. I was looking forward to watch FAN this independence day. Looks like vfx work may take some time. Fan may release on Christmas or October release !!!!!!!!! All the best srk.

  • @sss

    Your argument is completely baseless. Dark Knight, DrStrangeLove, Schindler’s list are all extra ordinary films with huge entertainment. And I never called Hirani, the best director of Bollywood. I call him best “commercial” director.

    Sadly you are a blind fan who brings Swades and Chak De into a discussion from no where. How are these films related to Bhansali? I have time and again praised these films but you’re a BIG fool to include a terrific film like Chak de along with a pseudo intellectual drivel like Black.

    And about Dil Se. Yes I love that film, along with Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na. I have watched the later more than 5 times and I love Kundan Shah’s offbeat cinema. Dil Se was also a terrific entertainer. Sadly a fool like you thinks only comedy or romance is entertainment.

    The first thing about cinema is engaging the audience and all these movies I mentioned are immensely engaging compared to the deathly dull cliched Bhansali’s films!

  • @gj007,well 1st of all let me clear I’m not discussing with you as a blind fan.

    I’m also not saying romance/comedy only can be considered as a classic genre.my point of discussion is difference between imaginable scenes and real scenes that made a movie has.according to me a movie can only be considered as classic if it has not any overrated imaginable scenes.

    For this I will simply want to give an example of Oscar films.only those film gets oscar whose each and every scenes reprents a real life situations with out a bit imaginary with perfect in everything including acting.just for an example James Cameron made titanic based on a real life situations which got Oscar with IMDb rating 7.7.while avatar is a completely imaginative story couldn’t even nominated for Oscar and got IMDb rating of 7.9 irrespective collections as both did exceptionally wwel because that was us not India.so according to you Oscar juries must be fools.

    Also you used that sentence ‘engaging audience’ that means ‘huge entertainment’ according to me.that’s all.you said about IMDb rating doesn’t make any difference,movies like dark knight which is an awesome movie with 9imdb rating still it unable to get Oscar due to it’s virtual world satire Gotham city.while an 8imdbmovir slumdog swept away all academy awards.so can we really call these movies like avatar/dark night series/hobbit series which got high IMDb ratings as well earned a lot over sensible Oscar winning scripts like 12 years a slave/the artist and many more and my personal most favourite even far better than dark knight is the pursuit of happiness and 12 years a slave probably among all Hollywood movies that I have seen
    till now.

    Even you claimed a mediocre performance like pk should win over show stellar performance HAIDER.this is what called is biasedness.if you kindly compare titular character movies like MNIK and pk,then you’ll found a huge overrated act in pk compared to a work class perdormance in MNIK with out a bit out of reality.if you felt a movie dark,boring and couldn’t earn a huge that doesn’t mean you’ll prefer some huge successful movies over these masterpieces.I never said a movie has to be romantic.kindly watch movies like JTHJ/HAIDER/BLACK even titanic,the only thing you have to feel the character’s situation which has probably not having a great story.the only thing it has reality with outstanding performance beg the movie to be a classic with best in cinematography and in every sector.

    Last thing,I’m not a raju hirani hater,personally I liked and respect him a lot.but it’s the truth he still not tried true classic if he will try I can definitely say he’ll made better than SLB.but still SLB beg to be a better class director than hirani considering his films like DEVDAS,BLACK.not only slb even imtiaz,vishal bhardwaj also.their stories may not have entertainment but not at least an overrated one.the movies like DIL SE,KHKN are pure all time classic.even that you liked andaaz apna apna also is a highly overacting comedy movie .till now I couldn’t find a true classic comedy like golmaal starring amol palekar.today’s comedy movies must have to overrate in order to entertain the audience.I enjoyed almost every movies and ignored obnoxious 3rd grade south remakes,bhojpuri kinda movies while pk only dissapointed me because of it’s religious target and some highly overrated scenes.still raju’s best movie till now according to me is Lagey raho munna bhai.

    From 2011 among big movies having big actors I liked 2 as classic JTHJ and HAIDER.but I become JTHJ is a similar kinda classic lke VZ,DEVDAS.but I become a fan of HAIDER performance of especially shahid-vishal jodi a long time after MNIK.

  • ohh that should not have happened.
    i cant wait too long to watch srk.now i think he will only have one release this year
    #dissappointed
