    Mumbai: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan does not shy away from experimenting with roles. He began his tinsel-town journey with Deewana in 1992 and went on to portray a gamut of characters. He even tried his hand at playing a dual role in films and ‘Fan’ is one of them.

    Helmed by Maneesh Sharma, ‘Fan’ came out in theatres in 2016.

    The film did not work at the box office but the audience and critics laud the actor for bringing something different to the table.

    SRK plays two roles in Fan, one enabled by the use of makeup and CGI. The story follows Gaurav (Shah Rukh), a young man whose world revolves around the mega movie star Aryan Khanna (also Shah Rukh) or God as he refers to him. From Delhi, young Gaurav embarks on a journey to the city of dreams, Mumbai, in order to wish his God a happy birthday. When things don’t go according to plan, Gaurav’s love and passion for Khanna become a dangerous obsession.

    As ‘Fan’ completed seven years since it was released, let’s revisit some interesting facts about the film.

    The film’s logo was made up of 100 pictures of real-life fans of Shah Rukh. Basically, it comprises profile photos of over 100 lucky fans, who won a contest that the entire team had run before the release of the film.

    The Mannat you see in the movie is not, in reality, SRK’s house. The makers wanted to feature SRK’s mansion Mannat in the film but due to security reasons, the mansion was recreated in Film City.

    If reports are to be believed, Fan is the first ever Bollywood film to be shot in Madame Tussauds Museum, London.

    It was not easy to get the look of Gaurav, a man in his 20s. Apparently, he had to undergo 3D scanning in the US. International make-up artist Greg Cannom created the desired look of Gaurav in the film.

  • Income Tax survey at BBC offices clocks over 55 hours

    Income Tax survey at BBC offices clocks over 55 hours

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The Income Tax department’s marathon survey at BBC’s offices continued for the third straight day on Thursday as officials prepared an inventory of financial data from select staffers and made copies of electronic and paper data of the news organisation. The operation that began at the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) offices in Delhi and Mumbai around 11:30 am on Tuesday has clocked more than 55 hours, sources said. It was not clear if the survey has ended. Tax authorities have made an inventory of the available stock, recorded the statement of some staffers and have impounded some documents as part of the survey action, officials told PTI.

    The survey is being carried out to investigate issues related to international taxation and transfer pricing of BBC subsidiary companies, they had said.

    The I-T teams are seeking answers on financial transactions, the company structure and other details about the news company and are copying data from electronic gadgets as part of their task of collecting the evidence, tax officials had said.

    Opposition parties have denounced the I-T department action against the London-headquartered public broadcaster, terming it “political vendetta”.

    On Tuesday, the ruling BJP had accused the BBC of “venomous reporting” while the Opposition had questioned the timing of the action that came weeks after the broadcaster aired a two-part documentary “India: The Modi Question” on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the 2002 Gujarat riots.

    While there has been no official statement from the Income Tax department on the action, the BBC has said it was cooperating with the authorities.

    A BBC staffer in Delhi said they were broadcasting their news like usual.

    The Supreme Court last week dismissed a plea seeking the imposition of a complete ban on the BBC in India in the wake of the controversial documentary, terming the petition “entirely misconceived” and “absolutely meritless”.

    Another set of petitions challenging the government’s decision to block the documentary’s access on social media platforms will be heard in April. On January 21, the government had issued directions to block multiple YouTube videos and Twitter posts sharing links to the documentary.
