Bollywood
Badshah
Shahrukh
Khan,
whose
latest
release
Happy
New
Year
is
rocking
at
box
office
says
he
decided
to
do
Maneesh
Sharma's
Fan
because
he
wanted
to
do
a
cosy
film
which
is
intense
yet
commercially
viable.
"As
an
actor,
I
feel
that
having
done
a
big
film,
'Happy
New
Year',
I
wanted
to
do
a
cosy
film
which
is
intense
and
yet
commercially
viable.
Maneesh
came
out
of
the
blue
and
he
reminded
me
of
a
subject
he
had
narrated
eight
years
ago," the
48-year-old
told
reporters
in
a
group
interview.
"I
was
sitting
with
Adi
(Aditya
Chopra)
and
instantly
agreed
because
I
was
in
a
happy
state
of
mind," he
added.
Shahrukh
also
says
that
he
is
not
sure
if
Fan
will
cross
Rs.
200
crore
mark
but
he
is
happy
to
do
the
film.
"I
don't
know
whether
the
film
(Fan)
will
do
Rs
200
crores
business
or
not,
but
I
have
to
be
in
a
similar
state
of
mind
as
the
director
who
wants
to
cast
me.
Five
years
back,
a
film
I
was
supposed
to
do
got
cancelled
and
I
called
Ashutosh
(Gowariker)
and
Ramu
(Gopal
Verma)
but
no
one
had
any
film
for
me."
"The
timing
has
to
be
right.
What
restricts
my
choice
of
films
is
the
directors
-
they
are
the
ones
who
cast
me,"
said
King
Khan
who
has
reunited
with
his
'Main
Hoon
Naa'
and
'Om
Shanti
Om'
director
Farah
Khan
for
his
latest
release
Happy
New
Year.
Produced
by
Shahrukh's
Red
Chillies
Entertainment
Pvt
Ltd,
the
film
is
a
heist
drama
and
also
features
Deepika
Padukone,
Abhishek
Bachchan,
Boman
Irani,
Jackie
Shroff,
Sonu
Sood,
and
Vivaan
Shah.
Shahrukh
Khan
who
does
only
one
film
at
a
time,
says
this
time
he
will
be
shooting
for
two
films
Fan
and
Raees
together.
"I
do
one
film
at
a
time
which
everyone
does.
But
right
now
I
am
doing
two
films.
I
would
have
liked
to
wait
for
two
months
after
'Happy
New
Year',
but
I
have
already
finished
a
20-day
schedule
for
'Fan'.
Thereafter,
'Raees' will
be
over
in
60-70
days
if
it
goes
as
per
plan,"
he
said.
