Subhash K Jha re-focuses the spotlight on Shah Rukh Khan’s Fan, which released in 2016, in this fascinating edition of This Day That Year feature series.
Maneesh Sharma’s Fan was extremely crucial to Shah Rukh Khan’s career. For the first time, he played his own fan: Shah Rukh Khan, the superstar and the fan.
Fan found Srk chasing himself as he hunts down and confronts an obsessive fan. It’s a unique concept, far removed from what the superstar attempted earlier. More importantly, Fan was a non-festive release. The release of Fan did not coincide with any religious festival.
It was Shah Rukh’s fourth double role since Duplicate, Don The Chase Begins and Om Shanti Om. Among the films where Shah Rukh Khan played a double role, Mahesh Bhatt’s Duplicate and Manish Sharma’s Fan stand out. They were relatively less successful on release but now have a cult following.

Mumbai, Feb 21 (Ians) The just-released second season of the popular web series "Dev Dd" touches upon subjects like female foeticide and LGBTQ.
Lead actress Asheema Vardaan, who reprises her role as Devika in the show's second season, spilled the beans on the subject. She said: "This time the show is majorly taking about female foeticide and LGBTQ. The show talks about Queer Marriage which is an important topic to shine light on as queer people don't enjoy marriage rights that as their straight counterparts do. It's saddening to see that our law don't see straight couple and Queer couple the same which leads to social stigma and ostracisation."
It is adapted from Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's epic novel "Devdas" with a female perspective as Devika. The series gives an unconventional twist to the "Devdas" storyline with gender reversals.
The second season is more intriguing with its storyline, feels the actress. She...
