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

K- Jo’s new movie is a tribute to his late father Yash Johar. He has decided to name his new production, Dostana, after the 1980 blockbuster of the same name made by his father Yash Johar, and starred Amitabh Bachchan, Shatrughan Sinha and Zeenat Aman.

The story is set in Miami. K-Jo and Tarun Mansukhani will start shooting it this summer. Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra are the lead players of the cast.

“It is funny, sassy and hilarious. It’s about friendship between these two guys played by Abhishek and John. Though it’s a love story, there is a never-before twist in the tale. We’ve never had a love triangle like Dostana before and you’ll never see Abhishek and John playing something like this again,” Karan said.

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.
