Shah Rukh plays the character of Rizwan Khan. He is suffering from the Asperger syndrome which is an autism disorder. He is married to Kajol  who plays the character of a girl named Mandira.

Srk (Rizwan Khan) is arrested as a suspected terrorist by police during post-9/11 in LA(California) after authorities mistake his disability for suspicious behaviour.

Shahrukh said “We are good thinking people and sensitive enough.” 

“When you say our film revolves around Islam, no. We have been very careful in not showing bias towards any community or anyone. We had experts on Islam or, for that matter, on Asperger, and that is why it took long to make this film.”

Karan Johar added. “When I was walking in San Fransico, five people came up to me and asked me if there was a song like Sooraj Hua Madham. I said no and they got disappointed. Of course, the film is a love story but the treatment is not what you saw in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge or Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. There are no love songs in Egypt or Switzerland but there is a wonderful love story between Rizwan and Mandira.”

Sounds interesting :-)
