In Picture: Shah Rukh Khan begins work on ‘Fan’

Shah Rukh Khan has begun working on Yash Raj Films’ ‘Fan’, which goes on the floors in July this year.

The popular Hollywood special effects makeup artist, Greg Cannom spent time at the Studio recently with the actor, Director Maneesh Sharma and Producer, Aditya Chopra to work on Khan’s look in the film.

Cannom has been nominated for nine Academy Awards and has won an Oscar three times for the memorable looks he created in ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ (2008), ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ (1993) and ‘Dracula’ (1992), apart from several other prestigious awards. In 2005, along with Wesley Wofford, he received a Technical Achievement Award from the Academy for the development of special modified silicone material used for makeup applications in motion pictures.

Speaking about the look, Maneesh said, “We are attempting a never-seen before look for Shahrukh which will be both challenging for us and exciting for the viewer. Understandably, this will be kept under wraps till the first look of the film is revealed.”

Shah Rukh had tweeted, ���Most of the characters I do are the ones I create. For the first time I am going to play what has created me��_I will be in my next a ��FAN.,�۝

‘Fan’ releases at the box office on 14th August 2015.
