In short
Khan for Valentine
|
A scene from the movie |
The much anticipated Shah Rukh- Kajol starrer My Name Is Khan (MNIK)
hits the screens globally this Valentine weekend from February 12. “It’s
an emotional drama. It’s about a man and his wife but there is a lot of
issues and very interesting plot points,” an elated Karan Johar revealed
about his upcoming project.
He also adds that the movie had been the toughest project yet but
being able to rope in his ‘God Sent Couple’ is a triumph itself.
“The best thing about the film is that one would feel that it is not
the same Karan Johar who had made films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, who has also set out to make MNIK.
I am of the opinion that to break your form is far more challenging
than to play in your own safety zone as a filmmaker by adhering to the
norms of the rule and formula and making a film for which you are
remembered,” he added “MNIK is very special for both Karan and me.
Unlike the rumors, it’s not about terrorism, or 9/11.
“It’s about a relationship between two people, between an individual
and the State, and between an individual and the country.
“In short, there the three important components: love story, Islam
and a mild form of autism, which forms the core of MNIK,” explains Shah
Rukh who portrays the lead role of Rizwan Khan in the movie.
