Having booked all four shows of the movie on the first day on Friday and making the theatre practically his home with his 'fan-full' family in tow, 41-year old Vishahrukh confesses to have been interviewed by those associated with the makers of the movie, trying to understand the process of being a huge fan, as he is.
Getting ready to be seated for the second show of 'Fan' on the first day of its release, he told TOI at a local multiplex: "I had several people associated with YRF visiting and calling me over the past several months getting to know the fandom around my God. But my passion towards SRK is not limited to his acting prowess or his performances alone. His humanity and nature has had me enamoured since 1988 when I first saw 'Fauji'."
In the run up to the film, the makers Yash Raj Films had produced several short documentaries of fans of different celebrities including Charlie Chaplin and Sachin Tendulkar from around the country. It featured Vishahrukh as SRK's biggest fan. He was named 'Lucknow Ka SRK' in the video.
