As promised, Yash Raj Films has released the first teaser of Shah Rukh Khan’s much-anticipated movie Fan on the star’s 50th birthday today.
If the poster bowled us over, the teaser hits us at the softest, gooiest spot in the heart. All his female fans will go aww, while all his male fans will get another opportunity to copy the superstar.
The teaser opens with a typical fan-star setting, where SRK (as Gaurav, the fan) explains his unique connection with Arya Khanna (also SRK, the star). Right from how he grew up binging on Aryan’s movies to how his lookalike factor eventually brings him closer to his God, the promo offers a glimpse into the movie without revealing the crux.
SRK, as Gaurav, hits it on the nail in the ‘Dilli’ accent and body language department. He is especially good when he’s receiving an award at a local competition and he's seen jumping around in joy, thanking his star for the feat. The other SRK aka Aryan is sophisticated, suave and a true superstar.
Since the movie is about his biggest fan, we are excited to see Shah Rukh as a crazed and devoted follower. Aren’t you too, guys? Another little detail that we liked was the use of SRK’s old movie snippets, award show footage and forgotten scenes from movies that are a blast from the past. This teaser (and perhaps the movie too) is a true treat and return gift to all his die-hard fans.
The last scene, where in a room filled with Shah Rukh Khan’s posters, pictures and cut-outs, his biggest fan stands clutching a trophy, summaries the life of every FAN out there.
The movie, directed by Maneesh Sharma, stars Waluscha De Sousa, Illeana D'Cruz, Shriya Pilgaonkar and Ali Fazal. It releases on April 15, 2016.
