Fan (2016)
Plot
Fan is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language action thriller drama film directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra under his banner Yash Raj Films. It stars Shah Rukh Khan in a dual role as Aryan Khanna, a film star, and his obsessive fan and lookalike, Gaurav Chandna. Gaurav beats up a rival actor to appease Aryan, but is instead punished by his idol; heartbroken, the fan plans revenge. Sharma had originally conceived the idea of Fan in 2006 and narrated the story to Chopra, who advised him against the challenging project for his directorial debut. In the same year, Yash Chopra narrated it to Shah Rukh, who expressed interest in being part of the project. The project was revived in late 2013, and Shah Rukh underwent 3D scanning in 2014. Principal photography began in July 2014 and was concluded in November 2015. Fan was a songless film; a soundtrack album consisting of a marketing song in different languages was composed by Vishal–Shekhar and the original score was composed by Andrea Guerra. Fan was heavily marketed; it was released internationally on 15 April 2016 after several delays. The film opened to mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, who praised Khan's performance,
