It is touted as one of the most anticipated upcoming bollywood releases, as it unites Shahrukh Khan- Kajol -Karan Johar trio, after 8 years. It is expected to release in Feb 2010.
If you are wondering why the film is called "My Name is Khan", this is what Shahrukh Khan had to say about it, "I play the character of Rizwan khan who is autistic and post 9/11, after an incident that affects him deeply, Khan gets stuck and tells everyone he meets, "Hello my name is Khan and i'm not a terrorist." "
Shahrukh Khan recently described the movie as "The journey of one family and how it changes because of 9/11".
As for the plot Shahrukh plays Rizwan khan who has Asperger's Syndrome(mild autism which makes people with the syndrome repeat the same actions again and again) and has a little queer behaviour. He meets and marries a Hindu widow Mandira (played by Kajol). Post 9/11, Khan is arrested as his actions seem "suspicious". When he gets out of jail, he sets out on a road trip across America telling everybody on the way that he is not a terroist. Finally he decides to go to Washington to tell President Obama that he is not a terrorist.
Who do you think will play obama?? Actor Christopher B. Duncan has been chosen to essay the role
He is known for his comic representaion of Obama in few shows (search "Christopher B Duncan" in
youtube, to see his funny performances). pic below shows his uncanny resemblance to Barack Obama.
We smell a hint of "Forrest Gump" in "My Name is Khan", as Khan is autistic but does still manages to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks despite his disabilty. It remains to be seen if it has an "...Gump" similarities but we are sure about is that it sure will be an interesting watch.
