The hunt is on for the leading lady of the film, and now it's heard that Ileana D'Cruz has been finalized. Though the makers are tightlipped about this development, sources claim that Ileana D'Cruz has indeed landed the role. The actress has never shared screen space with the King Khan. Since fresh jodis are all the rage in Bollywood these days Shahrukh and Ileana's pair sounds exciting.
There were also rumours recently that YRF's blue-eyed girl Parineeti Chopra has bagged the role opposite SRK. Later Parineeti herself clarified that she is not doing Fan.
In Fan, King Khan is going to essay a double role. The superstar has already starting working on it. The film's release date has been locked for Independence Day, 2015. It was even reported recently that the release date of Salman Khan's film Bajrangi Bhaijaan, set for Eid 2015 release, has been swapped with that of this Shahrukh Khan-starrer, to be directed by Maneesh Sharma.
However, Kabir Khan, the director of Bajrangi Bhaijaan has denied such reports. Both films will hit theatres in 2015. Fan will apparently come on Independence Day.
