Shahrukh Khan Starrer FAN Has No Competition At The Box-Office
| |||
Wednesday, 9th Mar 2016, 5:11 PM IST After a long time, a Shahrukh Khan starrer is releasing on a non-holiday. We are talking about his upcoming flick ‘Fan’ which releases on 15th April. However, the YRF’s movie has no competition at the box-office. A source said, "Last year, Shahrukh Khan's ‘Dilwale’ came heads-on with ‘Bajirao Mastani’ and the clash did impact it, though prior to that his ‘Happy New Year’ and ‘Chennai Express’ had arrived solo. It helps when a film as big as ‘Fan’ gets maximum share of screens. When Yash Raj and Shahrukh Khan last came together, it was for ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ and the battle had turned ugly with Ajay Devgn's ‘Son Of Sardaar’. This time around, all ends were secured much in advance and there is no biggie whatsoever anywhere in its vicinity." "The film has huge appeal for teenagers along with the youth and hence a release on 15th April and post exams does help. Moreover, it has an entire fortnight open for itself. There are a couple of films lined up for 22nd April but they won't need more than 1000 screens between them. This still allows ‘Fan’ to open on 5000 odd screens if it actually decides to go full throttle in its arrival," the source added. While IPL would be on in April, not many films are going to hit the screens. That gives ‘Fan’ a clean run, which is only fair as the theatrical promo has fetched over 1 crore online views already. An industry insider said, "This is clearly the best response that a Shahrukh Khan starrer has fetched in the recent times, as far as unanimous appreciation towards the promo is concerned. The start has been perfect, the stage is set and the audience is out there waiting as well. All that ‘Fan’ needs is some all-around powerhouse content and rest assured, there would be fireworks this April."
