Background
editUnlike Sharma's previous films, which had music integral to the story, Fan was a songless film.[1] It was made as such as he wanted to give the audience a new experience, and refrained the use of songs that would hamper the story.[1] However, he wanted Gaurav to have a fun dance number, resulting in a promotional song that would not feature in the film. The duo Vishal–Shekhar composed the song "Jabra Fan" for the film, which had lyrics written by Varun Grover and sung by Nakash Aziz.[2] It was recorded at the YRF Studios in Mumbai, during early 2016.[2]
A. R. Rahman was initially roped in to compose the background score of the film.[3] But due to reasons unknown, he opted out.[4] The film was eventually scored by Italian composer Andrea Guerra, who did the same for YRF's Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015).[4][5]
Release
editThe song "Jabra Fan" was released as a single on 1 February 2016.[6] It was further accompanied by a music video featuring Khan as Gaurav, dancing in the streets of Delhi.[7] The soundtrack was released on 29 February 2016 and included 13 tracks, with one theme music featured in the trailer and 12 songs, which were each different versions of "Jabra Fan".[8][9] The song was released in 9 Indian languages sung by regional singers, 2 foreign languages sung by foreign singers, and a mashup version of "Jabra Fan", which is a remix version of all the 11 languages.[10][11][12]
Controversy
editDespite the song "Jabra Fan" being stated as a promotional number, a suit was filed against Yash Raj Films by complainint Afreen Fatima Zaidi at the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in 2021, who stated that she had been disappointed on the song being excluded.[13] The complainant also demanded ₹10,000 as a compensation from the makers.[14] The Supreme Court of India, however, set aside the order claiming that the company was not liable for the song's exclusion and no unfair trade practice happened.[15][16]
