His Nazm Parastaar seems as though it was specially written for the character of Gaurav. https://t.co/s0R6tkNOwj

Shah Rukh later expressed his gratitude over Shabana Azmi's praises for his performance with a tweet of his own.

@AzmiShabana thank you so much ma’m. Javed sahib gave me a beautiful poem to read after watching it. Now I have ‘cent percent’ marks.

Well, SRK, just like Shabanaji, even we would like to see you try different such roles and impress us, instead of focussing on trying to enter the 200 and 300 crore clubs, as you have done with your films before FAN!

FAN was SRK's first release this year, which was directed by Maneesh Sharma. His next big release was supposed to be Raees that was to be released on Eid, along with Salman Khan's Sultan. However, it got postponed to January next year.
