Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is perplexed about why number 17 is being associated with him lately.
He took to micro-blogging site Twitter to refute rumours that he plays a 17-year-old boy in Fan and that in Rohit Shetty's film, which stars him in the lead role, there's an ensemble of 17 actors.
Shah Rukh tweeted:
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.
- Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) February 27, 2015Not much is known about Fan as of now, except that SRK will be seen playing the role of a superstar's fan in the film.
On the other hand, Bollywood's blockbuster director Rohit Shetty's upcoming film has been embroiled in rumours since the beginning - the first being that Shah Rukh will be paired opposite Kajol. But the director has stayed guarded about the buzz around the film.
Rohit Shetty's film is riding high on expectations as the duo set the cash registers ringing at the box office with their film Chennai Express in 2013.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh, who has entertained cinema lovers with hits like Happy New Year, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and My Name Is Khan, later decoded what he said at the press event to get to the bottom of the whole buzz.
He tweeted:
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
