In MY NAME IS KHAN, Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol Devgan inhabit the most challenging roles of their careers. Rizvan Khan is an honorable Muslim man from India, living with Asperger’s Syndrome, who falls unconditionally for the beautiful Mandira, a Hindu single mother living out her version of the global dream of success.

Yet, when an unspeakable act of cowardice tears their family apart, Khan selflessly embarks on a powerful journey through a contemporary America that is as complex as the terrain of the human heart. He innocently becomes that most unlikely act of defiance, one of peace and compassion. He provides a sobering reality that touches the lives of every person he crosses. In the name of the woman he loves, a curious stranger will introduce himself to the world simply by saying, “My name is Khan, and I am not a terrorist.”

Fox Searchlight Pictures presents MY NAME IS KHAN, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Jimmy Shergill and Tanay Chheda. Directed and produced by acclaimed filmmaker Karan Johar, the screenplay is written by Johar and Shibani Bathija. The production team includes director of photography Ravi K. Chandran, editor Deepa Bhatia, production designer Sharmishta Roy, costume designers Manish Malhotra & Shiraz Siddique, and music directors Shankar, Ehsaan & Loy.

MY NAME IS KHAN opens in theaters on Friday, February 12

Mumbai’s foodies and celebs got together at the Times Food Awards 2008 to salute chefs, restaurateurs and bartenders.

Our Oscars of Food Awards’ the Times Food and Nightlife Awards 2008-09, was held at the ITC Grand Central in Parel. And that’s where the stars descended Sunday evening. To give away awards; to sample the exotic dinner laid out by 30 of Mumbai’s best restaurants; to perhaps wine and dance; and, to come close to the real stars of the culinary world Mumbai’s celeb chefs, wicked bartenders and flamboyant restaurateurs, the people being honoured by The Times of India for making life a celebration of the tastebuds.

After confirmation that SRK and Kajol are reuniting for K-Jo’s next film, reports are flying around that now the two Khan’s SRK and Salman may be coming together after a long time for a desi remake of the Hollywood Tom Cruise starrer Jerry Maguire (1996). The remake will be put together by Salman’s brother Sohail who has pitched the project to the major film studio UTV a few days back with a bound script in hand.

If things pan out as expected, SRK will be playing a sportscaster similar to Tom Cruise’s Jerry Maguire and Salman will be taking on the role Cuba Gooding Jr. (Rod Tidwell)

The two Khans were last seen acting together in Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (2002) alongside Madhuri Dixit, other than SRK’s special appearance in Salman’s Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega.

Interestingly enough, SRK made it big in Bollywood by taking on his first lover boy role in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) opposite Kajol, which was first offered and turned down by Tom Cruise.

Karan Johar’s new film Khan which will be going on the floors this July will feature the favorite jodi of Kajol and Shahrukh Khan – together again after a long time. The last film they both played opposite in the lead roles was Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham back in 2001 as Anjali and Rahul. Kajol did have special appearances in two of SRK’s films after that, namely Kal Ho Na Ho (dancer at Priety and Saif’s engagement party) and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (piano dancer).

Kajol, a fan of SRK’s in real life will be playing the same on the silver screen. Khan will be a love story which will be played against the backdrop of 9/11. We look forward to its release next year.
