Press Release: Yashraj Films makes the impossible happen with SRK’s Madame Tussauds London Wax figure turning Gaurav at the Coca-Cola London Eye!
It’s a first of its kind, ever! In what has so far never been done, Madame Tussauds London, the world famous attraction, will re-dress its Shah Rukh Khan figure as Gaurav, his character in ‘Fan’. The wax figure will resemble Gaurav in terms of his clothing and look. Not only will the figure look like Gaurav, it will actually step out, for the very first time, enthralling fans at the iconic London Eye. This ‘Fan’ moment for the SRK Madame Tussauds London wax figure is unprecedented in the attraction’s history!
That Yash Raj Films has conceptualized a unique exercise like this to connect with SRK fans is no mean feat. Speaking about this event, Avtar Panesar – Vice President YRF International said, “We have had a long standing relationship with Madame Tussauds, and hold the attraction in high esteem. Placing the Madame Tussauds wax figure as a film character at a public place where crowds throng is an exciting opportunity for SRK fans! This is our way of returning the love of the Fan’s that make our films what they are.”
Madame Tussauds London has stepped up for ‘Fan’ in more ways than one – a scene from ‘Fan’ was actually shot at the attraction. Its cooperation with the film is influenced by the massive popularity that its Bollywood area enjoys. Madame Tussauds London’s General Manager, Edward Fuller, commented: “We have a long and strong relationship with the Indian film industry and our Bollywood figures, especially Shah Rukh Khan’s likeness, are hugely popular with guests. We’re delighted the attraction is featured in ‘Fan’ and excited to be celebrating the release of the film by re-dressing Shah Rukh’s figure and taking it to the London Eye for his fans to see and grab a selfie with!”
Yash Raj Films has innovated at many levels, from its making to the postproduction to VFX and digital work for ‘Fan’. Naturally, its promotions too have a unique and grand touch to them.

@Hrithik Yes I did decide the outcome before the eventual result because I never expected Rohit to make an unfunny film and neither did I expect BM to get such rave reviews and be appreciated from the audience.And I gladly accepted the defeat despite dilwale doing better business than BM worldwide because I had expected much more from dilwale not only in terms of collection but also in terms of entertainment which it failed to provide.
But I am sure you too will realise your mistake after seeing the performance of Sultan which seems to be dilwale of this clash but unfortunately the opposition on this occasion is more stronger than BM.So brace yourself to be decimated by Raees.Because it has been proved content is the king .
@indicine please update about FAN advance booking.When it will start?
Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan’s big clash at the box office is the hot topic of discussion in Bollywood, amongst trade and of course on social media between the fan clubs. It is a war between the Khans which will be widely debated if things go as planned. I am revealed you sometime back how Yash Raj Films head honcho Aditya Chopra has issued strict diktat to Ali Abbas Zafar and team Sultan to complete their movie in time. The makers plan to releaseSultan on Salman’s lucky Eid date this year. At the same time Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment backed Rahul Dholakia film Raees also plan to stick to the Eid date for their much awaited SRK starrer.
Of course unlike Salman – Anushka Sharma starrer Sultan that is still being filmed, Shah Rukh’s film that marks the debut of Pakistani actress Mahira Khan is through with the shoot. The cast and crew is done with their work and now the film will be readied for edits and sent to the Censor Board soon. Salman’s movie we hear has two more schedules pending. A source close to the movie revealed, “Salman and Anushka will leave for Delhi to can a few important scenes and from there they will wrap and leave for the final film schedule in Bulgaria.”
This means that Shah Rukh Khan‘s movie beat Salman’s film in round one. The Raees actors can now gear up for their promotions and the makers we bet want put in all their energies in the edits all this while team Sultan is still on the sets. With the way things are moving we’re certain that YRF team too is either prepping up for quick edits or may be has already started work to get Sultan on 70mm this Eid. But as far as completion of the movie is concerned seems like SRK’s Raees has hit the finish line ahead ofSalman‘s Sultan coring their first point in the big battle.
So its look Srk will be sure shot win the battle of Eid 2016 with Raees.
@hrithik,since when u started seeing SRK as a competition and friend of Salman?
Can’t wait yaaar
i wanna his statue at sultan release i am sure sultan will melt his ego and statue too.
Srk rules everywhere. Now its very tough to wait for fan. Love u srk.
The statue looks like a gay with no offense!!
It looks so funny as well.
And what indicine saying before …
Buzz is not sustaining ..lol..
Look at madness all over world..in any part of country ..u will see only Fan ..Fan…and …Fan…
Pich hat javo…Badshaha Aa raha hai..
Love u Don.
@ Indicine : Please share the new look of Fan in which a jovial Gaurav is seen listening to music.
Hahahahaha
@ Indicine : It will be a crime to not publish that new look of Fan. Please publish it.
Don’t you feel ashamed at yourself looking at the mirror???.
Even disgusting is an understatement to describe your comments.
SRK
Bhai these are common things for SRK-Akhir wo SRK ha tou chalta phirta star nai
My previous message was meant for Anand bandar.
@Anand Don’t you feel ashamed of yourself looking at the mirror???.
Even disgusting is an understatement to describe your comments.
Ohh srk has indicated his fans that he loves them as possible furthermore we Nigerians have appetite for his mind-attracting movies,above all we Africans earn a huge amount from the films of yours,therefore you already exceeded their expectations.
Marketing in a stylish way! wow SRK the real King of the world! the haters have no other work! this is the reason other actors have collection in Bollywood because of work done by Badshah! bollywood is more popular in the world because of one SRK! Haters keep hating him he gets bigger by the day! watch your bajirao mastani (forced to watch to many) kind of movies while the world rejoices with Dilwale and now FAN!!!!
@Phenom : In the same sense, you shouldn’t be talking above Hits and Super hits forget HGOTY !!!!!!!!!!! Lol
#lungi logic !!!!!!!
@Challa : I am glad you accepted it but you are trying to do it again !!!!!!!!! If you are educated enough there is a saying ‘Dont judge the book by its cover’. Just by a 1 minute teaser you have decided that Raees will win the clash against Sultan, you must be in forecasting department I am sure you will break some records for some most horrible predictions !!!!!!!!!!!! Lol
Dont jump the gun too soon, wait and watch who is going to accept or regret after Eid 2016 !!!!!!!!!!
@ginger : I was little wrong, SRK is nowhere near competition to Salman going by current numbers. Yes, Bhai consider SRK as a friend (after patchup) so we too feel the same unless some morons who keep abusing Salman and invite the hatred for SRK. We will retaliate in the language of their own (haters) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@hrithik There’s also something called intuition which you had that Dilwale would be crap and BM would be a masterpiece and it somewhat turned out to be true to certain extent.Similarly looking at the hurried pace of Sultan and exciting trailer of Raees with a brilliant starcast and acclaimed director it is easy to predict Raees would be a superior product applying your same logic during BM and Dilwale clash
@hrithik,ha ha ha ha HITS and SUPER HITS are not cake walk for everyone until and unless get big release date,which your bhabijaan dreamed to get a hit in entire decade of 2000-2009 of his own,what about that who is barking a lot about blockbusters a lot like a shameless after 2010 reborn of the remake khan.ROFL.so forget your star shouldn’t be called a hit star instead of a flop star because,he has only 21 hits<<<<<<his epic golden 40 flops,forget to give ATHG/3 DECADES CONSISTENT MEGA RULING AND MEGA CROWD PULLING POWER THROUGH OUT ALL DECADES EVEN NOW,HA HA HA HA.but for you everything starts with hgoty and ends with hgoty,bloody ganwar,ROFL.
yeah absolutely right,after EID 2016,WE'LL definitely see WHO'LL REGRET,though IT'S ALREADY CONFIRMED OVERSEAS+WW+MULTIPLEX OCCUPANCY DOMINANCE ALREADY BOOKED IN KING KHAN'S HAND.REST CONTENT WILL DECIDE HOW badly lultana daku will be thrashed by RAEES BHAI in DOMESTIC.
and you insecure should remind the same logic what you applied during DILWALE VS bm clash.if you'll not follow that logic,then IT'S FINE,WE'LL not force you,EID 2016 will make you remind that for your whole lifetime.
last thing 10 YEARS AGO,IN 2006 KING KHAN almost finished taklu's career by dragging him to the hell before arriving of PRAVU DEVA-the saviour.but this time HE IS GOING TO bury him inside the deep hell EXACTLY AFTER 10 YEARS IN 2016,where taklu will keep burn inside the wrath for his lifetime.
wo wo wo wo,what did you said?KING KHAN is nowhere near to compete against lalluman?oh really?how much taklu's last film earned with out clash+kabir/harshali
194cr only,207 according to producer,370cr ww?
KING KHAN with clash+below mediocre story+negativity—-150CR,400CR WW
now take this slap from number games.
though CONTENT IS KING TODAY,BUT THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD HAS ALWAYS REMAINED HEAVY ON their puny opponents irrespective of story.IF STORY will go even above average like CE,Thenno one can save your puny star agin being raped by KING KHAN THIS TIME too ,WHAT HE did in 2006.so never forget that dialogue—-DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF A COMMON MAN.
and yeah you're right don't judge a book by IT'S COVER.RAEES looks only CLASSY on IT'S COVER,WHO knows IT'LL HAVE HUGE MASS APPEAL after reading THE WHOLE BOOK?????so YEH TO SIRF TRAILER THAA,PICTURE ABHI BAAKI HAIN MERE………
you completely gone insecure from THE TRAILER ITSELF,Then I guess you'll do suicide after release of the film,please keep long breathe and agin try to hear the VOICE OF LION IN THAT SMALL TEASER,SO THAT IT'LL keep you make remind how taklu is going to be eliminated from not only FROM EID but also may be from bollywood.
@Challa : Let’s see how your intuition turns out. I hope later you will not sing on critical acclaims & awards rather business & commercial aspects !!!!!!!!!!
@sss : Your $hitty essay comments neither deserves time to read nor a reply. Keep ranting !!!!!!!!
