The collection of things that Maneesh and his team had was amazing. They took me to a room where they had everything. It was like a fan's room. They had all my photos, including videos, my first interview.

"Adi (producer Aditya Chopra) asked me to check the room. They had been researching for six-eight months," the superstar added.

The extensive research by the team of 'Fan' helped Shah Rukh get certain nuances correct. "While we were trying to device a voice for Gaurav (fan in the film), they made me hear my own interviews as my voice was thinner and younger in the earlier times," he said.

"Lot of things in the film are derivatives of what I might have said on screen in films. Like a love dialogue (in 'Fan') is not from any film, but it is a derivative of the love dialogues that I say (in my films)," he added.

The upcoming thriller also stars former model, Waluscha de Sousa and veteran actor Sachin Pilgaonkar's daughter, Shriya. The much-awaited film hits cinemas on April 15.
