OMG! Makers of Fan caught in a legal mess!

Shah Rukh Khan's recently released film 'Fan' has gained a lot of appreciation from his fans and film critics. However, the makers of the film have landed themselves in a trouble over a scene in the film.

Reports in media suggest that, a sweet shop owner from Chandni Chowk, Delhi sued the 'Fan' team for using its brand name without the owner's consent. Sushant Jain, owner of the Ghantewala sweets has alleged the infringement of trademark. As such, the owner has sought compensation from the makers.

As seen in the film, Shah Rukh's character Gaurav Chopra takes a box of Sohan Halwa in two different scenes. Firstly, when his parents handover the box to him as he leaves for Mumbai to meet his favorite superstar and secondly, when he drops the sweet box when he gets caught up in the hustle bustle outside his idol, Aryan Khanna's residence.

Well, the sweet shop has been shut since past 3-4 years and now it seems that the owner would somehow earn a good popularity by suing the makers of the film.
