SRK fans are over the moon with the trailer release of 'Fan'; an action thriller that closely observes the society's fixation with celebrities. A story of the darker side of celebrity obsession, 'Fan' shows Shah Rukh Khan in a double role.

Produced by Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films and directed by award-winning filmmaker, Maneesh Sharma, Shah Rukh plays himself and a 20 year old fan. Hollywood's renowned special effects make up artist Greg Cannon worked in the project to help the actor look like his own 20-something doppelganger. Cannon is a nine-time Academy Award nominee and three-time Oscar winner, for his work in 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', 'Mrs. Doubtfire', and 'Dracula'. 3D scanning was used as part of the process to create Shah Rukh's young man look in 'Fan'.

People involved in making the film have gone the extra mile, filming in locations including the iconic Madame Tussauds London. A brilliant combination of technology and Bollywood's best, 'Fan' tells a gripping story to what follows when a fan's love for his idol turns green. Music composers Vishal Shekhar made the soundtrack for the movie while noted Italian composer Andrea Guerra contributed the background score.
