The release date of Shah
Rukh Khan’s next with director Maneesh Sharma is reported to have been
postponed. Fan will no
longer be an Independence release. According to a popular daily, there has been
a change in the schedule and since the film has run into delay due to VFX
changes, it seems the makers have found a new release date for the film.
While all major holidays and
festival releases have already been booked, SRK’s Fan may now release on 23rd
September, 2015.
Wondering if there are any
specific reasons for this date? Well, 23rd is a holiday for Bakri Eid and with
it comes an extended 5 day weekend. This will be extremely beneficial for the
film and also since Shah Rukh’s other film with Rohit
Shetty is mostly up for release in Christmas, the gap is good.
Although an official announcement
is still awaited on this, if the makers do not finalize this date, then the
film may be shifted for a 2016 release. The film is definitely expected to
live up to its hype and if it gets a five day long extended weekend, then be
rest assured that Fan will be making a massive business.
