Hindi film star Shah Rukh Khan is usually mobbed by fans seeking a picture with him. For a change, Khan had the opportunity to play a real-life fan — he has already played a fictional one in Fan (2016) — when he met British-American filmmaker Christopher Nolan in Mumbai today.
Khan posted a picture of his meeting with the Dunkirk (2017) director on his official Twitter handle. He captioned it: “My fanboy moment. Inspiring to hear Mr Nolan & Ms Tacita Dean talk of the virtues of celluloid as an artist’s medium. Thanks Shivendra Dungarpur for having me over.”
