Shahrukh Khan, the man unarguably with one of the greatest fan following globally, will now play the role of being the biggest fan himself in the forthcoming YRF movie, Fan. The film begins shooting July 2014 and the actor has begun work on the film. The renowned special effects makeup maestro, Greg Cannom, who started work on developing Shahrukh’s look for the film, spent considerable time at the Studio recently with the actor, Director, Maneesh Sharma and Producer, Aditya Chopra.
Greg, who really doesn’t need an introduction, has been nominated for nine Academy Awards and has won an Oscar three times for the memorable looks he created in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” (2008), “Mrs. Doubtfire” (1993) and “Dracula” (1992), apart from several other prestigious awards. In 2005, along with Wesley Wofford, he received a Technical Achievement Award from the Academy for the development of special modified silicone material used for makeup applications in motion pictures.
Speaking about the look, Maneesh said, “We are attempting a never-seen before look for Shahrukh which will be both challenging for us and exciting for the viewer. Understandably, this will be kept under wraps till the first look of the film is revealed.”
Directed by Maneesh Sharma and produced by Aditya Chopra, FAN has been written by Habib Faisal, and goes on floor mid-2014.

Shah Rukh Khan-Katrina Kaif to team up again?

Shah Rukh Khan-Katrina Kaif

 

Bollywood diva Katrina Kaif is all set to be paired with Shah Rukh Khan again for a film. According to the latest buzz, the 'Dhoom 3' actress has bagged the lead role in Shah Rukh-starrer 'Raees'. This is the second time the leggy lass will be paired with Bollywood's badshah after their hit flick 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'.

A Mid-Day report says that Katrina was in talks with filmmakers regarding the role. It seems that she has given her approval for the film. After completing her shoot with Hrithik Roshan for Bang Bang, Katrina will be doing Jagga Jasoos opposite Ranbir Kapoor. She will then start shooting for Raees.

Sources also reveal that since the actress did not have any other film except Bang Bang and Jagga Jasoos, a film with SRK will give her career a necessary boost. While Katrina refused to be a part of the film, director Rahul Dholakia remained unavailable.

Recently Raees was in news when it was reported that Nawazuddin Siddiqui replaced Farhan Akhtar in the film.

Farhan Akhtar opts out of Shah Rukh starrer

According to India Today Bollywood actor-producer Farhan Akhtar will no longer be sharing screen space with superstar Shah Rukh Khan in his forthcoming home production ‘Raees’.

Akhtar, who was supposed to play the role of a police inspector in the film, opted out of the project due to date issues.

The 40-year-old actor had committed himself to Bejoy Nambiar’s next film, in which he will be appearing alongside Amitabh Bachchan.

Moreover, the production on ‘Raees’ has been postponed from September to October due to SRK’s recent injury on the sets of ‘Happy New Year’.

The film will be directed by Rahul Dholakia and produced by Excel Entertainment.
