By Medha Shri Dahiya

The new year has brought in a reason to cheer for actor Shah Rukh Khan’s fans in the Capital. Our sources tell us that the Baadshah of Bollywood will be shooting his next film, Fan, in Delhi, in the coming days. And that's not all to Delhi's filmy connect this year. From Kangana Ranaut to Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, it's a whole 'shoot' fest in the city.

Our beloved King Khan is probably the one to kick-start the Bollywood's shoot schedule in the city.  “Shah Rukh will be shooting his next film in Delhi in Jan-end and most of February,” says a well-placed source, adding, “The team had wanted to shoot the Delhi portions last year itself, but SRK was busy with the promotions of Happy New Year, and he also got injured. Then, it was way too cold for the crew to begin shooting.”

Another source from the production says, “The film will be shot at several places in Delhi, including Old Delhi, Connaught Place and Red Fort. Some scenes may also be shot around Paschim Vihar, where the film’s director Maneesh Sharma has lived. The shoot schedule will be for about almost a month. And the team will be in Delhi for the recee soon.”

A friend of Maneesh gives us a bit of a trivia about why the filmmaker decided to shoot in the Capital, saying, “While growing up, Maneesh was a big fan of Shah Rukh. So, the movie may have a few autobiographical elements. And Maneesh was an
assistant director on SRK-starrer Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008), too.”
It’s worth mentioning that both Shah Rukh and Maneesh are Delhi boys. While Shah Rukh grew up in Delhi, and his showbiz career started with the television show Fauji, which was also shot in the Capital, Maneesh’s family still stays in the city. He shot his debut film, Anushka Sharma-Ranveer Singh starrer Banda Baaja Baaraat in Delhi’s Rajouri Garden.

That’s not all. Actors Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, too, are coming to the city to shoot their next film, Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha. The team is expected to spend more than just a  month in Delhi. Having shot i international locations, such as Corsica, France, the Tamasha crew will be seen shooting in Delhi's Connaught Place, Delhi University and more.   

Soon, Kangana Ranaut and R Madhvan's next Tanu Weds Manu 2 will re-start shooting in the Capital. The shoot was put on hold because of Dilli ki sardi, we hear. However, Kangana, who has a double role in the film, will be back this month with teh entire crew to complete the rest of the shooting schedule.
