Shah Rukh Khan's Fan is up for release next week and Maneesh Sharma has woven his tale with a lot of love and care. A project that Maneesh has been living with for years, Fan is finally releasing in exactly 7 days. With the makers totally confident about the content of the film, everyone is expecting an excellent word of mouth to do the trick for the movie.
The movie has Shah Rukh Khan playing dual characters that of superstar Aryan Khanna and his look-alike fan Gaurav. Given that Gaurav looks extremely different from what SRK does in real life, there are a few fans who still haven't come to terms with it. There are still many who feel they that Gaurav isn't Shah Rukh. Don't believe this?
We have just received an angry open letter from a fan who has claimed the same and asked YRF for an answer.
Here's what he wrote:
"I'm writing to you with great disappointment over your latest movie,FAN. I'm an SRK fan and I have admired him for everything he has done. When the first teaser of FAN came out, we were all excited because the premise looked like a story we have lived all throughout our lives. It seemed like our story. But I'm really upset that you are using a look-alike of SRK as the bad guy. Really? Couldn't you have found a better villain? Or even SRK himself to play the crazy, obsessive fan which would have been the best the ever? Yes, you guys are indeed claiming that it's SRK who is playing Gaurav in the film, but he doesn't look any bit like my favourite superstar. Instead, he looks exactly like all the doppelgangers we have of him. This is not fair, YRF. When you are making a film on the lives of 'FANs', you owe us an explanation for this! You cannot play with Fans' emotions in this manner. I am utterly disappointed and let down by YRF. Don't cheat fans like this."
We wonder what YRF's response will be to this. While everything has been going great for the film, this open letter isn't something they would be expecting right now.
