Watch: Here's what went into the making of Shah Rukh's character Gaurav in Fan

Mumbai: When Maneesh Sharma started off with his film ‘Fan’, he approached several senior make-up artists overseas, who told him that it was virtually impossible to bring his vision to life.

However, the team did not lose hope and connected with Hollywood artist Greg Cannon, who did a remarkable job turning the 50-year-old star into a 25-year-old lookalike fan.

The makers have released a 15-minute video which shows what went into the making of Shah Rukh Khan’s character Gaurav. In the clip, SRK reveals how he hated to sit in a chair for 4-5 hours each day and described it as “the single most irritating thing in the world but I promised myself I would not get angry.”

In his painstaking preparation Greg designed eyebrow pieces, drew inspiration from Brad Pitt’s character in ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ and designed a new nose and teeth. On the other hand, the VFX team shrunk the fan’s body, sharpened the jaw line, removed the Adam’s apple and worked on his eyes and shoulders.
