What connects Shah Rukh Khan and the number 17? The actor says he doesn’t know.
He took to Twitter to refute rumours that he plays a 17-year-old boy in Fan and that in Rohit Shetty’s directorial, which stars him in the lead role, there’s an ensemble of 17 actors.
Khan took to Twitter to clear the air. “And the number 17 where has this come from in one press con I did?! 17 stars In Rohit’s film &I am 17 yrs old in Fan...both not true [sic],” Khan tweeted.
Blockbuster director Shetty’s upcoming film has been embroiled in rumours since the beginning — the first being that Khan will be paired opposite Kajol. But the director has stayed quiet over the buzz surrounding the film.
Shetty’s film is riding high on expectations as the duo set the cash registers ringing at the box office with Chennai Express in 2013.
Khan later decoded what he said at the press event.
“Got it! In a generic sense I said I cld b 17 yrs with techno in my nxt film in context of age-centric casts, so casting wl b character based [sic],” he said.
The actor is currently busy filming his TV quiz show India Poochega Sabse Shaana Kaun?.
