According to the new reports, the MNIK movie will be releasing in January 2010.

As per karan Johar, this is a collective decision taken by Shahrukh & Karan due to several reasons.

Well now we will have to wait a little more to see ” Mr. Khan ” in action.

This means that Srk would not have any major release in the current year – 2009 and his only release this year would be “Dulha Mil Gaya” which has him in an extended special appearance.

Bad News guys but we can definitely wait to see the darling duo together after a long hiatus !!

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

Srk n Karan Johar While Shooting MNIK Movie in US

It is reported that the Budget of MNIK Movie is around 50 Crores.

As per Trade Analyst, Komal Nahata, “It will be a very big deal for Fox. It catapults them to the big league. It can’t get bigger than KJo, SRK in Bollywood.”

Such a big buyout especially when many producers have failed to seal deals will certainly raise eyebrows and reiterate King Khan’s saleability factor in the box office.

Aamir Khan’s Ghajini was sold for Rs. 90 Crores in the past followed by OSO & Singh is King.

But experts say with SRK’s global popularity, My Name is Khan will be one of the highest grossers for the overseas Box Office.

Lets keep our fingers crossed. What do you say guys ?

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.

Jimmy Shergill

Aamir Bashir, one of the cast members of Karan Johar’s latest venture ‘My Name Is Khan’ was denied US Visa recently. Due to this, he is unable to join the crew in USA.

Now he has been replaced by Jimmy Shergil. Jimmy Shergil has already worked with Shahrukh Khan in ‘Mohabbatein’.

Aamir Bashir was to play the role of Shah Rukh Khan’s younger brother in the film. Shahrukh Khan and Karan Johar are presently in Los Angeles and busy in shooting.

Now Jimmy Shergil is going to USA and will do the shooting in Los Angeles.

The actress, who marked her debut with Akbar Khan`s ‘Taj Mahal’ was last seen in ‘Khoya Khoya Chaand’, is highly excited about working under a big banner.

She is reportedly playing an integral character, while Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol will be playing the main lead. SRK is apparently portraying an autistic character in the film which is being shot in Los Angeles.

“She couldn’t say no as she plays an NRI woman in the film and as per the look of her character she has to look thin. Hence she had to forego her binging habit and start with a special diet. She is currently in Los Angeles shooting for the film with her two good friends, Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan, ” says a unit hand.

Apart from keeping a tab on the calorie intake, Kajol is sweating it out at the gym too to cut that extra flab. Interestingly, SRK had stopped working out as his six pack abs look was not required in Aditya Chopra’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. As far as his look in My Name Is Khan is concerned, he plays an NRI Muslim man here and is required to look lean.

This includes SRK’s personal staff and also actor Aamir Bashir who has acted in ‘A Wednesday’.

The buzz is that post the Mumbai terror attacks the US consulate has become extremely cautious about issuing visas and apparently despite making them understand that the people concerned were leaving for a shoot, the authorities didn’t budge.

The rejected members have been left with no choice but to submit fresh applications and praying for better luck this time around.

Shahrukh Khan - New Look !!

Shahrukh Khan has Chopped off his hair for Karan Johar’s new venture “My Name is Khan”. This new look has been given to Sharukh Khan by Hairdresser Dilshad

This haircult is very similart to what is called a “crew cut”.

In My Name Is Khan, Shah Rukh plays a character called Rizwan Khan, who suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome, a relatively milder form of autism.

The first half of the film is based on a true story that happened to a couple and Karan Johar has bought the story rights from the couple.

 Yes, you got that right! Karan Johar surely has a taste that is one of it’s kind. The director was recently in US doing some location shopping and it’s being reported that he even applied for a permission to shoot in the White House.

Apparently, the attraction is not with the White House but offering something novel in his movie. After Snoop Dog singing to the Punjabi beats in ‘Singh Is Kinng’ and Sylvester Stallone coming in Sajid Nadiadwala flick ‘Kambakht Ishq’, Karan is doing what it takes to stand out in the crowd.

Speaking to a news daily, the director said, “I’m currently working on pre-production. The story of my film takes the lead actors from San Francisco to LA and eventually to Washington DC. I am trying to figure out permissions including locations in and around Washington. I still have a lot of time till I achieve these permissions as I only start the shoot of the movie.
