Shahrukh Khan

Shahrukh Khan

In “My Name is Khan”, SRK is playing the character of Rizvan Khan. This person suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome, which is an autism disorder and is characterised by difficulties in social interaction and behaviour. Half of the film is a true story based on a couple’s life in LA. Karan bought the rights of the story from them.

For the role, Shah Rukh has to gain weight, and that is what he is doing currently. “The role requires me to have a fuller look,” said the actor who has plunged into his character already and is doing research on autism to see how complex these individuals are. “I am reading, watching documentaries, meeting people who are affected by autism and doctors who deal with it. It’s very unnerving and I salute parents who bring up children with any disorders,” said SRK.

Shibani Bhatija, the screenplay writer of the My Name Is Khan, has SRK detained in LA as a suspected terrorist because he is a Muslim and his impairment makes his behaviour suspicious.

    My 6 year old son was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome last year. I have realized since then how desperately we need to create awareness and understanding about this disorder in our society, so that individuals with Asperger’s syndrome and their families get the support they need. I hope this movie helps to do that. I am waiting for a day to come when people will stop calling my son a ‘bad boy’ and me a bad mother. God bless.
