Ram Pothineni Rejects ‘Fan’ Comparisons for ‘Andhra King Taluka’ Ahead of Nov. 28 Release

He attributes confusion to the ‘biopic of a fan’ tagline, describing a story that celebrates a non‑villainous fan–star bond.

Overview

  • During promotions, Ram Pothineni said his film is not modeled on Shah Rukh Khan’s 2016 thriller Fan.
  • He explained that the marketing line ‘biopic of a fan’ led audiences to assume a similar storyline.
  • He stressed the narrative focuses on unconditional affection between admirer and star rather than obsession or revenge.
  • Promotional footage shows his character’s intense devotion to a celebrity played by Upendra, which prompted comparisons.
  • Directed by Mahesh Babu Pachigolla, the film co-stars Bhagyashri Borse, Rao Ramesh, Murali Sharma and Rahul Ramakrishna, and opens in theatres on November 28.
