Khan denied the rumors about the leaked plot of "Fan" that has been spread on social media. He was asked if "Raees" and "Fan" are different from what he's been doing lately and how he chooses his films.
"For an actor, it's not different yaar. I don't choose films for the sake of it, I choose because of what state of mind I am in," said Khan to Bollywood Life. "I have done two big films - Chennai' and Happy New Year.' Big means everything is larger than life and the scale is big. So I just wanted to be in a more realistic actor's phase."
Khan continued to describe the idea behind "Fan" saying, "I liked the story of Fan' and it's not like what has been mentioned on Twitter. I have never seen life from a point of someone who likes me. It would be very interesting for me to be on the other side. To be a fan, what does it mean felt like a good idea and it's diametrically opposite to who I am so it would be very interesting."
The actor went on to describe "Raees" as "more of an earthy role."
"I am a very urban actor," continued Khan. "So I found that interesting. As for Rohit's film, it will be in his genre - that is bigger and better. I want to make a big film with him because I like the vision he has and I think he is fantastic. he is hard working like I am, he has got mad sense of humor and he has a sensibility that I like. He is also very funny on the sets and his unit is funny too."
SRK is currently only focusing on "Fan" as they put together the set to start filming. YRF studios put together a replica of the Rajdhani Express for the Maneesh Sharma directed film. The train will be constructed for a special sequence between the actor and the villain.
The actor started shooting for the film, but is keeping all the details under wraps. YRF is also constructing a replica of Khan's Mannat home where they have his birthday scene for the film.
Khan will reportedly play a double role in the film as himself and a commoner named Rahul.
While he has worked with major actresses in the past, it looks like Khan is set to work with two new actresses.
During a press conference, the actor revealed some details about his next film, "Fan."
"There are two girls in the film. It is a film where I don't think you need a big lady star. it is cosy interesting, different film," said Khan. "It is one of the challenging films that I have done in 20 years. We are still discussing as to how we can take it ahead. It is a story of a fan of a movie."
There were reports that Parineeti Chopra had been signed for the film, directed by Maneesh Sharma, but she denied it saying she wasn't approached for it.
Now, reports suggest that Ileana D'Cruz has landed one of the roles of a heroine in the film, which is slated to hit floors in October, right after the release of "Happy New Year."
"Fan" is allegedly based on a story about a crazy fan who is keen to meet the one person he has always idolized.
