Filming for ‘Fan’ started in September last year in India, and besides the ‘important stunt scenes’ to be shot in Dubrovnik, London has also been used as a filming location. In 2011, the Los Angeles Times called Khan “the world’s biggest movie star.” He has also been regularly featured in listings of the most influential names in Indian culture and in 2008, Newsweek named him one of the 50 most powerful people in the world. Khan is also the co-owner of the Indian Premier League cricket team Kolkata Knight Riders.
