In a nation that produces around 600-700 films annually, most of the times film producers are in a fix as to when to release their films. The release date of Karan Johar’s My Name Is Khan has been pushed to February 12, 2010 and now the movie is all set to cash in on Valentine’s Day romantic weekend.
Shahrukh Khan-Kajol starrer ‘My Name Is Khan’ is not a film about terrorism but a love story. “At its core, the film is an epic love story between two people who have a unique way of seeing the world,” K-Jo is quoted as saying.
Karan always tries to do something different in his films, but one thing that remains constant is his desire to show a man-woman relationship in a more profound way. “I keep setting out to do something different with my films, but the one constant that remains is my desire to continue to explore the many ways in which two people can fall in love and stay in love regardless of any or every challenge against them,” says director Karan Johar.
Well, as this movie is Karan’s most ambitious film till now, he is doing every bit to make it a huge success.
Fox Star Studios CEO Vijay Singh is quoted as saying: “What makes ‘My Name is Khan’ a very special film is that it brings together the finest Indian talent with a powerful story that has relevance for audiences everywhere.”
Fox Star studios will market and distribute the film in India, while Fox Searchlight Pictures will release the movie in the US.
‘My Name Is Khan’ is about an unconventional hero Rizwan Khan (Shahrukh), who suffers from Asperger syndrome. It’s also as much about Mandira (Kajol), a Hindu single mother who marries Rizwan. The movie narrates the couple’s ordeal in America and Rizwan’s journey to clear his name.
