The much awaited trailer of Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming movie
The trailer takes us to Gaurav Chanana, the self-proclaimed biggest fan of superstar Aryan Khanna, who also happens to be his look-alike. After winning a local competition as the biggest fan of Khanna, he goes to Mumbai to meet Khanna, only to create a ruckus in the life of his idol after he fails to appreciate his love and admiration for him.
The trailer then shows the limits of his obsession, which turns dangerous for both his and his idol’s life, after a string of stunts in Mumbai, Croatia, and London, in which we see Aryan running after Gaurav, proving his point that now a star would run behind his fan.
The fact that Khan spent a significant time sitting on a chair getting his make-up done by Academy Award winner make-up artist Greg Cannom to look like a look-alike of himself is not the only interesting thing about the trailer. It’s actually the feeling of immense happiness when you see a seemingly good actor acting well, not only in one role but in both the roles assigned to him.
Neither do we see Khan hopelessly wooing a girl, nor do we see him using his persona and charm to make the movie work; in fact, Khan, for a change, has managed to act so well that it reminds us of his good old days, when he used to rule the space of thriller movies, like Baazigar, Darr and Anjaam.
