One stormy night, a Indian Army officer comes to their house, wounded and begging for shelter. But Zooni and Zulfikar discover from the television that the army officer is actually Rehan, who did not die, but is a terrorist himself. He pretended to die before Zooni could see, and recognize, him.

Controversy

Aamir Khan while promoting his film in Gujarat made some comments regarding the Gujarat chief minister's handling of the Narmada Dam and the necessity to rehabilitate the displaced villagers.[citation needed] These comments were met with outrage from political parties such as BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) and the Indian National Congress.The government of Gujarat demanded an apology from Aamir Khan. Aamir Khan refused to apologize, saying "I am saying exactly what the Supreme Court has said. I only asked for rehabilitation of poor farmers. I never spoke against the construction of the dam. I will not apologise for my comments on the issue."[1] An unofficial ban of Fanaa was put in place for the entire state of Gujarat. Protests also occurred against the film and Aamir Khan which included the burning of posters of the star in effigy. As a result, several multiplex owners stated that they could not provide security to customers. Thus, as these threats exist, most theater owners in Gujarat have refused to screen the movie.[citation needed] Aamir Hussain Khan (; Devanagari: आमिर ख़ान, Nastaliq: عامر حسین خان) born March 14, 1965, in Mumbai, India, is an Academy Award-nominated and National Film Awards-winning Indian film actor, director and producer. ... , Gujarat (Gujarati: , IPA:  ) is a state in the Republic of India. ...

Producer Mahesh Bhatt moved a petition to the Supreme Court of India asking them to direct the Gujarat government to provide protection to all cinema halls that wanted to screen the film, but it was rejected.[2] Their response was that if a cinema was concerned for their protection they could call on the police. Mahesh Bhatt is an Indian film director, and is the father of film actress Pooja Bhatt. ...


Addressing the media, director Kunal Kohli said, “All theatre owners or exhibitors who wish to release this film can request for protection and the government should extend support. We as filmmakers request all theatre owners of Gujarat to come forward and release the film. We have earned 47 Crores (both domestic and overseas) in the first week and have lost approximately 6 to 7 crores of business in Gujarat. However it's not about money... it is about a principle. As a democratic country where Aamir has a right to say what he feels, even the people of Gujarat, who are protesting have the right to say what they feel ... but in a democratic fashion, and not by burning posters and threatening people."[3] Kunal Kohli is an Indian director. ...


A single privately owned cinema in Jamnagar, Gujarat, screened the movie with police protection despite the threats.[4] It ran for over a week to great demand and packed shows[citation needed] before being withdrawn again following a self-immolation bid by a man protesting against the screening.

Trivia

  • The title Fanaa means destruction or destroyed in love in Urdu.
  • Fanaa is originally an Arabic word that means annihilation.
  • Though they acknowledge each others' immense talents, Kajol and Aamir Khan were not on the best of terms personally, as they did not get along during their first movie, Ishq. Interestingly, from the beginning, Aamir who was first approached as Rehan, could only picture Kajol as Zooni and this did not see himself as Rehan as he perceived that Kajol may not have wanted to work with him.
  • The song Mere Haath Main was released in two versions. One version was used in the movie; an alternative version is available as an outtake on one version of the DVD.
  • This was Aamir Khan's first film under the Yash Raj Films banner. For Kajol, this would be her third after Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Yeh Dillagi.
