More news →'Fan' connects SRK to his 'Dillipan'
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan loved every bit of getting back to his "roots" here on Tuesday. From visiting his college in Delhi University's North Campus to the lovers' spot at PVR Priya, the actor was upbeat about sharing his "Dillipan" that he has got to showcase on the big screen with his upcoming film "Fan". After an overwhelming experience at his alma mater, Hansraj College, where he finally collected his graduation degree 28 years after passing out of the institution, SRK held a media conference at the PVR Priya theatre in south Delhi to promote "Fan". "I love you Shah Rukh," screamed his several fans, who had won a contest of sorts to meet the actor and were seated in the balcony of the theatre, which SRK described as the "unaffordable" hostspot for lovers of his time. Looking suave in a bearded look, the 50-year-old couldn't thank "Fan" director Maneesh Sharma enough for letting him explore his "Dillipan". He said he had been longing to play a Delhi boy, and that he was "more envious than jealous" of other actors who got to play such roles on screen. Because he has been living in Mumbai for the past 25 years, he felt would have forgotten the 'Delhi dialect', but he is glad that with "Fan", he could go back to it. "I would like to thank Maneesh that he brought me to my roots and gave me a Delhi character to play. This film is very special to me. Not just is this story special, but technologically, the visual effects and make-up that have been used in this film, I think that hasn't been used anywhere in the world. "I feel for Hindi films, there will be something to look upto in terms of where we can go with visual effects and make-up," Shah Rukh said. The film features Shah Rukh in two avatars -- one as superstar Aryan Khanna, a reflection of his own persona, and another as Gaurav, a fan of the superstar. He was in the capital to launch a special anthem "Jabra fan", to be used as a promotional song for the movie. A peppy track, it features Shah Rukh in Gauravs's avatar, dancing away on Delhi's streets. To a question posed by on whom was he a fan of while growing up, SRK said: "I was not a fan of the extent shown in the film... So, as far as liking is concerned, there were two or three people I grew up really loving and trying to know about as there was no internet back in those days to be able to read up on some or collect a picture. "One would be Mr. Milkha Singh. I loved stories about him, and how he used to be a champion. I used to be a big fan of his. The second would be Muhammed Ali... I was into sports, so I always liked his being little brashy and bratty, and still being so good at his sport. "Then of course, all of us have grown up being Mr. Amitabh Bachchan's fans. I was one of them too. So, yes these three people... And strangely, because I was into sports, I have mostly sporting people that I was a fan of... Like Sunil Gavaskar." Interestingly, Shah Rukh even mentioned Olympic gold medal-winning Bruce Jenner, who has become Caitlyn Jenner. "I am glad that me and my daughter both know him or her as well because I never thought my children will be introduced to Bruce Jenner in a different avatar -- kind of like 'Fan'.... like I am being introduced in a different avatar after 25 years." Shah Rukh also said he loved reading about and even got the opportunity to meet Mother Teresa, and that he was also a fan of actor Michael J. Fox.s 'Dillipan'
Fanaa - Last major musical score of Jatin Lalit
Fanaa, upcoming flick from the house of YRF, is special not just because of great production values and the Aamir Khan-Kajol combo. It is also special as it has some of the last songs composed by the composer duo of Jatin Lalit who have now split. Jatin Lalit, who gave some great music for YRF in films like DDLJ, Mohabbatein and Hum Tum, would be taking a bow as a duo once their album 'Fanaa' hits the stand. They do have a couple of small pending releases that may happen later but for all their die hard fans, 'Fanaa' in all probability would be their last and final call. Truly an end of a great era that witnessed dozens of melodious 'n' priceless gems. Here is looking forward to 'Fanaa'!
'Fanaa' music out in stores
Music of the most keenly awaited album of the season, Fanaa, is out on stores. As expected, the album is selling like hot cakes from the stands due to an all around unprecedented demand. In spite of the fact that so far just one line [Subhan Allah] has been heard from the entire album, people are just flocking the music stores to check out the album due to multiple reasons. First and foremost the Yash Raj Films tagline by itself spells quality. Secondly the film stars Aamir Khan and Kajol and has a romantic theme. And last, but most importantly, Jatin Lalit as the composers who have earlier given huge hits for YRF in the form of DDLJ and 'Hum Tum'! The album has seven songs in total that includes an instrumental and a remix. Watch out for our music review of the album coming soon!
Fanaa's multiplex release - the plot thickens
With just 24 more hours to go for the release of 'Fanaa', there is still uncertainty around an agreement between Yash Raj Films and the multiplex association. On digging a little deeper into the actual state of the issue, it turns out that three of the biggest multiplex chains of India would continue to boycott the release of 'Fanaa' at their screens if Yash Raj Films stick to their demand of better share from the ticket sales. Our source from one of the multiplexes, who wished to be unnamed explains, "For every movie that releases, a distributor agrees on a certain percentage cut. For every week there is a rate that depends based on the film's banner, starcast and hype. For each of the weeks there is a rate and everything is agreed upon at the distribution stage itself." So what is so unique about 'Fanaa'? "See, traditionally for a Yash Raj film, the share is never less than 45-50%. In fact why just a YRF, even for other big banner films coming from top production houses, the share is usually in the same range. While for some movies, this percentage falls down from second week onwards, for certain biggies it remains the same for 2 or even 3 weeks at stretch. Now in case of 'Fanaa', a bigger share is being demanded and that too at the same level for 3 weeks in a row. This has resulted in a disagreement with the multiplexes and hence the decision to boycott the film. If there is no consensus reached, it would be indeed disappointing for both the parties as everyone knows that collections for a movie in the league of 'Fanaa' are normally more than 50% from multiplexes alone." But is there any hope or would a 'multiplex-addicted' viewer be forced to make a comeback? "Kuch bhi ho sakta hai (anything is possible)", he says, "Nothing is turned down as there is still hope due to a few more hours to go before the film's release!" Won't it hamper the film's show timings if a decision is taken at the last minute and the prints start getting dispatched? "That shouldn't be a problem as normally too a YRF print only comes on a Friday morning. Even if a decision is taken by late Thursday evening, the prints could still be flown over and the movie could be screened at the right time." So here is hoping that the audience gets to see what they wanted at the choice of their screens. As always, we will keep you updated about the latest information!
'Fanaa' no more in Gujarat
Yash Raj Films have requested the management of Amber theatre in Jaamnagar to pull off 'Fanaa' after a young man Pravin Joshi made a self immolation bid in the theatre's toilet yesterday. Apparently he had been protesting against Aamir Khan's views on the Narmada issue, though it defies reason as to why he made the attempt after watching the film. Ambar was the only theatre showing 'Fanaa' in Gujarat and after the request by Yashraj Films, theatre owner Vimal Madam, decided to pull out the film which had been running to houseful shows. In another related incident, four people were arrested for 'illegally' showing 'Fanaa' in a club in Rajkot. It has been reported that hundreds of people had been congregating to watch the film and it was due to the huge numbers that police got the hint. Kunal Kohli's blockbuster seems to be arousing extreme reactions from people in Gujarat. There's no dearth of people who wish to see the film while there are still others who can go to any length to oppose it.
Fantastic beginning for AAJA NACHLE
Madhuri Dixit has done it. Making a much awaited comeback, she has managed to get all the attention that she rightly deserves. Promotion of her AAJA NACHLE has begun with a big bang in the weekend gone by and if initial reactions are anything to go by, YASH RAJ FILMS have a deifnite winner in hand. A three minute theatrical promo has met with a fantastic response in multiplexes across the country where whistles, claps and an overall euphoric mood was observed when Madhuri was seen dominating the frames. She has succeeded in giving the right vibes which indicate that she had never been away. The film's theme too deals with a triumphant spirit of an underdog taking over the mighty and winning against all odds. Written by Jaideep Sahni, AAJA NACHLE is an Anil Mehta film which is releasing all over on 30th November.
