The corporatisation of Bollywood is a recent phenomenon but there have been two production houses that had already imbibed the culture long back. We are obviously referring to Yash Raj Films and Dharma Productions, who have more or less stuck to their shooting, pre & post-production and release schedules.

So what is the schedule for the biggest project from Dharma Productions, featuring the winning pair of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol? Well, the good news for the eager fans of SRK-Kajol is that the pre-production is over and MY NAME IS KHAN is currently being shot in US.

Dharma Productions have also gone ahead and given November 2009 as the tentative release date.

The talented Shabana Azmi has agreed to play Shah Rukh Khan’s mother in Karan Johar’s Khan. A source said, “Normally, Karan would not think of casting anyone but Jayaji to play Shah Rukh’s mother.

Reason being that both Shah Rukh and Karan dote on Jayaji and sure enough, she has already played SRK’s mother in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Kal Ho Na Ho.”

Apparently, it’s the strong political message of Khan that convinced Karan to sign Shabana instead of Jaya for the project. The source added, “Khan conveys a very strong message. It’s about the isolation of the Muslims after 9/11. And who better equipped to put forward a cinema of ideas than Shabana?

Also, the film is about a Muslim family based in the US. And Shabana would bring a natural elegance and credibility to her part.”

However, not much is being revealed about Shabana’s part in the film. But it goes without saying that she would be an essential part of the project.

After KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI, KABHI KHUSHI KABHIE GHAM and KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA (all starting with the letter “K”), Karan Johar has finally left the lucky “K” letter word from his new venture – MY NAME IS KHAN.

Well, here is the official announcement from the producer-director Karan Johar himself. On his official blog, Karan says, “My film is finally titled, “My Name is Khan” (alvida, “K”) and it stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. This is my first official announcement.”

My Name is Khan, will have SRK  playing the role of an autistic character. Autism is a developmental disorder and according to the National Institute of Health: “Autism is characterized by impaired social interaction, problems with verbal and nonverbal communication, and unusual, repetitive, or severely limited activities and interests. These behaviors can range in impact from mild to disabling.”

A source said about Shah Rukh Khan, “He’s adventurous and dares to take risks, he dares to be different, and break all rules. It is a misconception that he is repetitive and does not like to play different characters. His performances in Swades and Chak De! India are the best examples to prove this point. My Name Is Khan will be a trump card in SRK’s repertoire. Playing an autistic person will be challenging. Shah Rukh will have to do a lot of homework.”

The source added, “SRK is very excited about playing this different character.”
