As it turned out on Thursday, the graffiti outside Shah Rukh Khan's house Mannat here was indeed a unique promotional stunt for his upcoming film 'Fan', which is slated to hit the theatres on April 15, 2016.

The walls of the "Don" actor's four-storeyed house were painted with messages like 'love you SRK' and 'c u 15th', and it was signed with the name 'Gaurav'. It attracted a lot of attention and was widely covered in the media. And that was the whole idea!
"This was a unique promotional idea for the film, because sometimes this is how a fan reacts. Fans of celebrities do some crazy things and so, and since Shah Rukh plays a fan named Gaurav in the movie, this was just to give a glimpse of how crazy a fan can be," a source close to the film's unit, told IANS.
The film's 63-second teaser shows crowds going crazy witnessing Shah Rukh as he strikes his signature arms-wide-open pose. There are women in tears while SRK doles out love to his ardent followers, and the teaser's last few seconds show the back shot of the common 'Fan&rsquo; living in Delhi, played by the "Badshah" himself.

He is addressed as: "Duniya Ke Sabse Bade Superstar Ka Sabse Bada FAN"... "Aa gaya Gaurav".
Yash Raj Films, which is producing the Maneesh Sharma directorial, said in a statement: "2 POWERHOUSES. 1 SPECIAL TRIBUTE. SRK IN AND AS FAN."
Even Shah Rukh Khan, 49, took to micro-blogging website Twitter to share the teaser of the film with his fans and followers along with the link of the teaser.
