NEW DELHI: Originally hailing from Delhi, Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan always harboured a wish to play the city boy on screen and the superstar says he is happy that after 25 years of his career he got his desire fulfilled through Fan. The Maneesh Sharma-directed movie will see Khan in double roles, one as a superstar and other his lookalike fan Gaurav, a Delhi boy. Fan has been majorly shot in the Indian capital. “I have known Maneesh for years now. I always wanted to play a Delhi boy in a film but I didn’t get the chance. Over the years I saw a lot of actors playing Dilli ka munda and I used to envious of them. I would like to thank Maneesh for bringing me back to my roots,” Khan told reporters here at the press conference held post launch of a song from Fan. The 50-year-old actor further said, “The irony is I have lived for so long in Mumbai that I forgot some ‘Dilliness’ (meaning typical Delhi-people mannerisms).” Khan was also presented with his graduation degree, at the event.
