That's not really possible. The only thing you are adding with the rear is the minor electrical load of the fan. There has to be some other cause of the overheating. I would start by pressure testing the cooling system to see if it holds pressure and has any leaks.

@wrenchtech. Pls whats the implication of attaching the radiator fan directly to the battery terminal in such a way that it starts working as soon as the ignition is switched on

The fan already comes on whenever the A/C is on. That's not the way you fix an overheating problem. That would effect fuel mixture and run a high risk of electrical damage and fire in the vehicle.
