Screenshots of 'Fan' given on a torrent website.A day after its release, a pirated copy of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan's film Fan showed up on Torrents, the file distribution system popular among Internet users.
Camera prints of new movies appearing online just hours after the movie's release is an usual affair when it comes to Bollywood films. But, in the case of Fan, there is a twist in the 'piracy tale'. The movie that is available as a torrent file is of high quality and not a camera print, unlike others.
Those who downloaded the movie, have given the print a rating of 8 for both audio and video – which means, the quality is top-notch, almost like a DVD print. And more and more are downloading it, as you read this.

We don't know to what extent the torrent 'release' has affected Fan as the movie is doing brilliant business in theatres. The movie, which features King Khan in a double role of a superstar and his obsessed fan, has impressed the audiences in India. The Maneesh Sharma directorial minted over Rs 19.20 crore on its opening day on Friday.
Made on a budget of Rs 105 crore, including publicity and advertisements, Fan released in over 3,500 screens in India and over 4,600 screens around the world.
In a video post on Twitter, Shah Rukh Khan had thanked his admirers for the overwhelming response for Fan.
The film released on April 15.
