Fan is a 2016 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film[7] directed by Maneesh Sharma and co-written

by Sharma and Habib Faisal. Produced by Aditya Chopra, the film stars Shah Rukh Khan in
a double role as filmstar Aryan Khanna and obsessive fan Gaurav Chandna, who look just like each
other. Gaurav beats up a rival actor to appease Aryan, but is instead punished by his idol;
heartbroken, the fan plans revenge. It also stars Shriya Pilgaonkar and Waluscha de Sousa in
supporting roles.
Sharma had originally conceived the idea of Fan in 2006 and recited the story to Chopra, who
advised him against the challenging project for his directorial debut. In the same year, Yash
Chopra read it to Khan, who expressed interest in being part of the project. The project was revived
in late 2013, and Khan underwent 3D scanning in 2014. Principal photography began in July 2014
and was completed by November 2015. Fan was a songless film; a soundtrack album consisting of a
marketing song in different languages was composed by Vishal–Shekhar and the original score was
done by Andrea Guerra.
Fan was heavily marketed; after several delays, it was released internationally on 15 April 2016. The
film opened to positive reviews from critics, who praised Khan's performance in the film, with
criticism focused on the editing and the loosely written script. The film collected ₹1.2 billion in India
and ₹679 million from overseas territories, for a total of ₹1.88 billion against a production budget
of ₹1.05 billion. At the 63rd Filmfare Awards, Fan received the Filmfare Award for Best Special
Effects. The film was commercially unsuccessful at the Indian Box office, but managed to succeed
overseas.
