The musical trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy composed the film's score.[5] Cinematography is by Ravi K. Chandran. [6]
The film is slated for a December 2009 release.[7]
Plot
Rizwan Khan (Shahrukh Khan) is a Muslim man who suffers from Asperger syndrome (a form of autism which impacts social interaction abilities). Authorities detain him after mistaking his disability for "suspicious" behavior.[8][9] His wife is portrayed by Kajol (who won the role over Kareena Kapoor).[10][11][12] kuta johar and rani kuti is a bitch an dogs
Production
Director
Director Karan Johar has described the "message" of the film as being "in strong support of humanity, which at the end of the day is the only way to rise above any of the cultural or religious differences that continue to engulf us."[13] In addition, during an interview with Johar, journalist Madhureeta Mukherjee (referring to the prevailing post - 2008 Mumbai attacks atmosphere in India) stated, "My Name is Khan starts at a time when Hindus and Muslims in India have united like never before." In response, Johar stated: "I think it’s an exceptionally relevant time, as the unity of our nation is of paramount importance, and I am very happy to witness such a movement in front of my eyes. We are all coming together to fight for a common cause – called humanity. Everyone knows that terrorism has no religion and it will never have a religion. As a filmmaker, I believe that I have a social responsibility and I promise to fulfil that." [14]
Filming
Filming began in Los Angeles on 15 December 2008. [13][15] One of the locations used for the film was UCLA.[16] The film faced a setback during late December when actor Aamir Bashir was denied a visa to the United States. He was eventually replaced by Jimmy Shergill as Shahrukh Khan's younger brother. [17] After filming in Los Angeles was completed, Johar stated that, "in all my 11 years as a filmmaker I’ve never felt the experience to be so different. The content of My Name is Khan is diametrically opposite to whatever I’ve done in the past."[17] He described working with both Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol again as "magic. They build an inexplicable energy on screen." Johar also stated that he was "blown away by Shah Rukh" who had done "done monumental research on his autistic character in the film. I was zapped by how much he knew about the subject."[17] Shabana Azmi was originally cast as Shah Rukh Khan's mother[18] but later left the production due to a scheduling conflict. [19]
