Aditya Chopra, Maneesh Sharma and Shanoo Sharma thought I was the best person to play this role.

Due to some reasons Shah Rukh couldn, t reach on time and Maneesh was asked to leave Mannat. “I was made to be a star”. In scene after scene, even when the angry fan gets down to “create a scene”, Faisal conceptualises the turbulent conflict between the idolised and the idoliser. “A man like me, who has got everything from this great country, I’ll be last one to complain”, he said. I’ve been in Billu as a superstar in a guest appearance but it’s not really exciting. At least the colossal museum of SRK posters, photos and sketches on the walls of his house and his eccentric love for his idol pasted all over his auto among other belongings he owns, do prove the point for Lucknow’s Vishahrukh- as Vishal has christened himself over the years- that he is SRK’s biggest fan.
The actor, whose double role in “Fan” has come in for praise, claimed he leaves it to the producer to decide the amount for his film roles. It was very hard. Till this date people thank me for ‘Raju Ban Gaya.’ Even Shah Rukh. The film is all set to emerged as the biggest opener of 2016. “We do not have to compete with others to say we are patriots”, Shah Rukh said on TV show “Aap Ki Adalat”, aired on India TV.
Vivek Vaswani, who lived with the Chennai Express star when he was an aspiring actor in Mumbai, says the movie can turn either way depending on how good the content is.
The star said his message to the youth would be to be tolerant and work towards taking this nation forward as small, petty matters should not harm the nation’s interest. “I was just too distracted”, Shah Rukh said. He said that if the film does not prove to be a disappointer like Shah Rukh’s last offering, then it will certainly become the biggest hit of his career.

“I would like to state here very clearly, when we chose a leader of our country, whoever may be, as great as Mr Modi, all we have to do is to support him. The only reason why Indian cinema has gone on so long is because of this culture of superstars who are revered by their fans”, he said. The entire chasing sequence at the end of the film is one of a kind and it will leave the audience wanting more. But SRK believes that he doesn’t’ deserves the love and respect that he has received till yet. All these are the people who have started liking Hindi films now and have then discovered that Hindi films are not only about stereotypes, like the people expect it to be. Thus, in order to achieve that deserving position I will keep on working for my entire life.
