Shahrukh Khan’s FAN is likely to release on September 23 (Wednesday), which happens to be a national holiday for Bakrid. The film, initially scheduled for a August 14 release, was postponed due to the post-production work taking longer than expected.
The final release date hasn’t been officially confirmed by Yash Raj Films, but sources say, a further delay in releasing the film would have pushed the Maneesh Sharma directed film to 2016, something that Shahrukh didn’t want.
The fact that all the other major dates this year have been blocked by other stars, meant that the makers of FAN are likely to settle for a non-festive release – SRK’s first since My Name Is Khan in 2010.
SRK spotted shooting for his forthcoming film Fan
FAN will now get a extended 5-day weekend at the box office and has nine open days before the release of Akshay Kumar’s Singh Is Bling and John Abraham’s Rocky Handsome. Both films are scheduled to release on Gandhi Jayanti (October 2).
Holiday or non holiday
Big heroine or Small
Off beat or Commercial
Now SRK himself is enough to make reach a film 200 crore minimum..
Haters will discover some new excuses after the releases of Fan
Since SRK’s Fan resembles his own story to some extent, I am sure it will become huge blockbuster. Long live SRK the megastar.
Relax SRKIANS!!!!!this is just an assumption of @indicine which is wrong.if ADI and KING KHAN will declare the date as DEEWALI,then nadiya ke paar production house aka rajshri and sally will change their release date.if they want gaps for ROHIT SHETTY’S NEXT ,then it must be October 2.both johnakki will shift release date if they want ant ouatim/madras cafe but for such big films bakri eid is not possible at all,lol.
@myanmar nigro,is your village/country has any schools?BTW bhojpureans and logic are two opposite poles of a strong magnet,lol.
Our king want festival time release so that idiots can say power of king
This is not a good decision .2nd oct or 25 dec cristmas release will be good (if rohit’s next release in 2016).
I think it has good content but not great. So boxoffice collection will be low if it release in 23 sept
@ tiger the real… it not like that big star has big hollydays realise!!! its lyk that big star has to big heart and guts to realise their big movies on non hollyday
otherwise booking of next 5 years hollyday realise date even without starting and selecting star cast show yours insecurity and make you coward
@sheeher :ROFL just like Don2,JTHJ,RaOne reached 200crs right! Also HNY struggled for 200crs despite world tour promotions,holiday release,deepika,multistarrer..
Fan won’t cross 150crs..mark my words..
just see hrithik and aamir!! you dont have to release a movie if content is not good or production is delayed. there wont be any tsunami..if srk movie is not there an year. nothings going to change. just relax. he needs some rest. seriously he’s getting old. take an year or 2 break!! pls.
So SRK will come on October 2 and push Akki and John to the next year.
I can’t understand y everyone is unhappy with the release date
now i am so happy with 5 days weekend i will laugh at emotionist khan’s fans if srk fan breaks dhoom 3 record in 5 days itself
250 crore has been officially confirmed
some morons say it should release next year or 2nd oct … this date is my most favourite date best of luck srk sir!??
lets see
dates doesnt matter if content is good.
i think fan is that content oriented film which fans of shahrukh khan were craving for since mnik
n if fan will be as good as chak de… den sky is the limit……200+ crores foh sure
if it turns out to be mediocre then expect it to collect in between 150-170 crores… i just cant imagine a number below 150 as thats the least we expect from a shahrukh khan starrer
No one assured fix date for Eid and Bakrid first of all because its depend upon moon sighting.
Cristmas release is better
@babaji ka thullu U r frustrated that ur Akki is a 60 cr star. So you are trying to insult the King of bollywood. Fan will cross 200 cr easily, even without holiday. First let ur Akki touch 140 cr then talk about 200 cr.
2nd October would be an ideal date for them to release the movie.But anyways Srk has the starpower to bring the audience into the theatres even in non-holiday.
Wow lots of negative comments…its good for FAN… haters plz bark like street dogs…now im sure that fan will easly cross 200 cr..
Haters plZ calm..just wait we will show you…
I thnk finally it will release on October 2 because sling is bling shooting has not yet started and akki is busy shooting for airlift and brothers. So lets wait for official announcement by yrf.
@Indicine It’s Bakra Eid not Bakrid!!!!!! Be careful next time with such spellings as I did not know what you were referring to as India has many many (many many many many)Holidays so I thought it could be some other Holiday!
Fan would most likely collect 190 Cr while Singh is Bling have chance of 150Cr if movie is good and Rocky will collect between 20-60Cr depending on the movie and collection of Welcome Back
@babaji, oh.. no… just like you predicted 130 crore for Baby..right..
you keep waiting and try to find some new excuses, it may be useful for you after the release of Fan..
It should release on Gandhi jayanti..I don’t think Singh is bling will be ready by then..and seriously speaking john Abraham is no competition to shahrukh khan..so Fan should release on 2nd October because although it is not a universally appealing Bollywood potboiler,it has a huge superstar in it so the benefit should be there
Doesn’t matter when it releases, it’s a film I hope we’ll rejoice in longer run. Hope it goes beyond collections! All the best to the team. They’re trying something new.
Global super Stars does not care much about desi holidays like desi Super star blocking three years festival dates even without starting star cast. Desi Super star still chasing the overseas collection of MNK for years,and CE’s worldwide even after knowing it’s possible only in dream.
SRK make movies for Global Audience so domestic collections matters only for desi stars…
@indicine, this is too much. why are approving racist and bigoted comments???
@sss used N***ro word and you guys approved it and days ago a lot of people were using homophobic words here in comments section and you didn’t do anything.
Come on guys, thousands of people read your articles and our comments so please make sure what kind of comments you approving.
thanks.
@indicine
Why wasn’t my comment posted? When you can approve comments like that fellow ajinkya calling arjun kapoor fan bastardo, what was wrong with my comment? care to explain?
OMG ….that’s my birthday….very happy.
@babaji ka ullu,I know you hated KING KHAN the most among khans.this is not the 1st time I marked insecurity every time before any release.my advise for you to take your drugs regularly and still not the official release didn’t announce still yet.so you need not to excite,lol.BTW any date—-october2,DEEWALI any date can be snatched by KING KHAN.I think most probably 2nd October,so akki will surely change his date,I knew that otherwise I will have to make remember the situation of jaaneman/ouatimd which burned and sib also will burn if clashed with FAN.FAN will be a blockbuster any how with at least 200cry.at least Farah got super hit with KING KHAN not a flo like tmk or after huge promotion flops lime bang bang,lol.
fan is releasing on holiday then how it is non festive release ?
