Mumbai (The Hindu): FAN: The Game’ will be available on Android and iOS platforms from February 29 The Udupi-based gaming studio, 99Games Online Pvt Ltd., is developing a mobile game for Yash Raj Films’ forthcoming venture ‘Fan’, which has the Bollywood heartthrob Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role.

According to Anila Andrade, associate vice-president (operations), 99Games Online Pvt Ltd., ‘FAN: The Game’ revolved around the journey of an ardent fan and the challenges he encounters to meet the superstar he idolises. It is a game about connections.

Fans can connect with the superstar Shah Rukh Khan at his residence Mannat, in a film studio, in a cinema hall or simply at a mall and prove that they are his ‘Sabse Bada Fan!’ or his biggest fan. ‘FAN: The Game’ will be available on Android and iOS platforms from February 29.

The studio had also developed ‘Dhoom: 3 The Game’ in collaboration with Yash Raj Films (YRF) for the Aamir Khan-starrer which hit the screens in 2013.

“Following the success of ‘Dhoom: 3 The Game,’ which garnered 20 million downloads, this is our second Bollywood movie game association with YRF. We have been working very closely with YRF while building ‘FAN: The Game,’” Ms. Andrade said.

With 75 levels at launch and engaging game play, ‘Fan: The Game’ will also offer an opportunity for players to collect exciting rewards. Further levels would be released with an update pack on the day of the release of the movie.

The trend of working with movies to solve the discoverability of well made games was now gaining a foothold in the Indian gaming community and the gaming studio was leveraging its past experience of building ‘Dhoom: 3 The Game.’

“We will be using the movie as a promotional vehicle for discoverability of the game by launching it well ahead of its release slated for April 15,” Ms. Andrade added.
