My Name Is Khan , one of the most-awaited films, is being shot at breakneck speed. The film, produced and directed by Karan Johar, initially hit troubled waters with visa problems for its cast and crew members and SRK's shoulder injury. However, now the team has bounced back and the film is fast nearing completion. The USP of the film is the coming together of Bollywood's most-loved couple Shahrukh Khan and Kajol after a hiatus of almost eight years.
Apparently, the basic plot unfolds telling the story of Rizwan Khan (SRK), a Muslim boy who grows up with his mother in the Borivali suburb of Mumbai. As an adult, Khan falls in love with and marries Mandira (Kajol). However, he suffers from Asperger syndrome (a form of autism which impacts social interaction abilities). It's this very behavioral pattern that leads to his arrest on the grounds of suspicion as a terrorist post-9/11 in Los Angeles. After his arrest, he meets a therapist Radhika (played by Sheetal Menon) who helps him. Jimmy Shergill also appears in a pivotal role as SRK's brother.
With SRK playing the role of a man suffering from autism, he has certainly got into the look of the character with his disheveled hair, vague yet restricted mannerisms and grey tweed suit. However, the glint of passion for performances and his undying source of energy still manage to break through the layers of make up.
With all the hype surrounding the film and the fact that SRK and Kajol are coming together after such a long gap, we are sure that My Name Is Khan will not just entertain the audience, it will also send a subtle yet powerful message across through its gripping narrative.
