Plot

Rizwan Khan (Tanay Chheda), a Muslim child who has Asperger syndrome, grew up with his mother (Zarina Wahab) in the Borivali section of Mumbai.[9][10] As an adult (Shahrukh Khan), Rizwan moves to San Francisco and lives with his brother and sister-in-law. He falls in love with Mandira (Kajol) whom he later marries.

After 9/11, Rizwan and Mandira begin to face a number of difficulties which causes them to separate. Rizwan then begins a long journey across the United States to win Mandira back.[11] In the process of his journey, he "inspires optimism and joy in the hearts of the people he encounters by spreading of messages of goodwill wherever he roams."

Themes

In an August 2009 interview, Shah Rukh Khan stated that My Name Is Khan is "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."[13]

In an earlier July 2009 interview, Khan also noted that the film focuses on themes concerning "the relationship between the Western world and Islam and how that has changed over the past few years." He describes the film as about "the journey of one family and how it changes because of 9/11" and suggests "we touch upon that in a very unbiased and educated way."[14] In another early interview, he also stated that, "it’s not about a disabled man’s fight against disability. It’s a disabled man’s fight against the disability that exists in the world — terrorism, hatred, fighting [...] My Name is Khan is also about Islam and the way the world looks at Islam but we are not taking any sides. We are only trying to say that there are only good people and bad people. There are no good Hindus, bad Hindus, good Christians, bad Christians. Either you are a good person or a bad person. Religion is not the criterion, humanity is."[10]

In late 2008, journalist Madhureeta Mukherjee (referring to the post - 2008 Mumbai attacks atmosphere in India) suggested in an interview with Karan Johar that, "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 fulfill that." [15]

Production

Pre-production and casting

Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol were cast in the lead roles, reuniting them after many years.[16] Kareena Kapoor was also considered for Kajol's role, but Kajol was Johar's first choice.[17] The film faced a temporary setback during late December when actor Aamir Bashir was denied a visa to the United States.[18] He was eventually replaced by Jimmy Shergill as Shahrukh Khan's younger brother.[19] Although Shabana Azmi was originally cast as Shah Rukh Khan's mother[20] she left the production after Shahrukh Khan's shoulder injury delayed the filming schedule.[10][21] She was replaced in the role by Zarina Wahab.[22] Tanay Chheda will portray Shah Rukh Khan's character as a child living in the Borivali section of Mumbai.[23] Chheda was chosen because he resembles Shah Rukh Khan and because he is recognizable to an international audience after portraying "middle Jamal" in Slumdog Millionaire.[9] American actor Christopher B. Duncan was chosen to portray President Barack Obama. Duncan is known for his interpretation of Obama on the The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[24] Johar also asked Khan to co-produce the film, as "we were both passionate about the subject, we said why not co-produce the film? We’ve known each other so long [...] that this new initiative is just an extension of our emotions. Besides, I can never make a film without Shah Rukh. He is a big part of me and my family. He’s like the older brother I never had. I love SRK as a unit — that includes his wife, children, sister and his in-laws."[25]

Filming and post-production

Production of the film is taking place in India and the United States. Filming began in Los Angeles during December 2008 [10][26] and one of the locations used was UCLA.[27] Johar next continued production in Mumbai during April 2009.[9] During June 2009, production moved to San Francisco[28] and the Bay Area, where they filmed a key scene at the Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose.[29]

Johar had difficulties finding a mosque to film in. According to actor Arif Zakaria, "I don't know if Karan tried to get permission in Mumbai. But we were to shoot in a mosque in Los Angeles and hard as Karan tried to convince the authorities that his film would not propagate anti-social values, he was denied permission [...] We finally shot the two-day scene with Shah Rukh Khan on the set of a mosque constructed at The Club in Andheri." [30]

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."[19] 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 monumental research on his autistic character in the film. I was zapped by how much he knew about the subject. The movie be the biggest HIT of 2010"[19]

Release

Distribution

On 7 August 2009, Karan Johar signed a deal for 1 billion INR with Fox Searchlight Pictures, who will market and distribute it in India (FOXSTAR) and worldwide (Fox Searchlight).[4][31] Shah Rukh Khan was later asked in a December 2009 interview if he feels that My Name Is Khan is "a more international film which should be seen by all and will have a far reaching influence." Khan responded that:

I have never been a strong advocate for global cinema because I don't think our films turn the tide around though my directors and distributors feel otherwise. Having said that, I will add that MNIK is a very special topic about humanity in the garb of a Muslim character [...] The film is made on a large canvas and made larger with Fox coming on board. The subject material is adapted in terms of humanity in a very entertaining way. And with Karan, the best filmmaker in India today directing the film and Fox distributing it -- the message of love, the way it has been shot internationally and the way of releasing it, might have all the possibilities of an international release. It's going to be released in a way no Hindi film has been released internationally before with mega prints and the trailer releasing with Avatar in a first of its kind.[7]

High profile screenings

My Name Is Khan will be screened at the Berlin International Film Festival in February 2010.[32]

Newark Airport incident

On 14 August 2009, Khan arrived in the United States in order to both promote My Name Is Khan and to participate in various South Asian-related events around the country (including Indian Independence Day). Upon arriving at Newark Airport in New Jersey, he was pulled aside by Immigration officers after his name popped up on their computers,[33] questioned for over an hour (Khan claims it was at least two hours) about the nature of his visit, and three hours later was released with an apology.[34][35]

Khan said he was told that it was because "they said my name was common to some name that popped up on the computer."[36][37] The officials asked if he could provide names of people to vouch for him. Khan noted that he "had all the documents; they were asking me where I was going to be staying. I gave the name of FOX people with whom I had finalised a deal a few days ago as contacts." However because they wanted to check his luggage which the airline had lost, Khan said that he "was taken to a room where many people were awaiting a secondary check on visa, most were Asians. In fact many officers were reluctantly vouching for me, some people were asking for autographs and a Pakistani fan even said he knew who I was. But the officers said it was procedure and kept taking numbers from me."[36][38]

While he wasn't allowed to use his own phone, Khan was permitted one phone call.[34] He was thus released after officials from the Indian Consulate intervened. Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel stated that the event will be further explored with U.S. officials.[37] According to the BBC, "Elmer Camacho, a spokesman for the US Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, said the questioning was part of the agency's routine process to screen foreign travellers."[39] When later asked during an interview whether he was angry, Khan responded that,

"I did feel bad for a lot of people in that room, I know because I had an escort and someone would recognise me, I will get out. Others may face more trouble [...] I have extra security because of my name. I can handle this but when you have someone as respectable as an ex-president getting frisked, I am nobody" (in reference to the frisking of President A. P. J. Abdul Kalam earlier in the summer).[36]

Khan later stated that, "I think it is a procedure that needs to be followed. But it is an unfortunate procedure." When asked if he would demand an apology, Khan replied that he would not.[40]

The incident has sparked debate online[41] and led to demonstrations in India.[42] The director of My Name Is Khan, Karan Johar, was asked during an interview with MiD DAY if the event was a publicity stunt for the film. Johar denied that it was and responded: "It's upsetting because I got a text message this morning asking me if it was publicity plug for my movie. (Sarcastically) I mean, if I had that much power over the Homeland Security, why would I allow Shah Rukh to go through something like this? [...] What's really shocking is the fact that when I was writing the film, I never thought that what happened to the protagonist of the film would happen to Shah Rukh."[43] Dr. Shashi Tharoor, the Indian Minister of State for External Affairs and a member of the Indian Parliament, commented on the incident stating that "we all found it offensive" and praised Khan for handling it with "great dignity."[44] Actress Juhi Chawla also stated that it was "as absurd as Brad Pitt coming to India, being strip-searched, investigated and interrogated."[45] Other figures in the Indian entertainment industry each with the last name "Khan" noted similar travel experiences (Zayed Khan, Iqbal Khan, Shabina Khan, Kabir Khan, Irrfan Khan, Dilip Kumar/Yusuf Khan, Eijaz Khan).[46] Deepak Chopra's son, author and businessman Gotham Chopra echoed these sentiments by stating:

"It's not just American customs agents being provincial, it's the fact that I would guess that in India alone, there are several million Khans. I'm not joking. Khan is one of the most common Muslim names and India is not even an Islamic country. "Ghengis Khan," anyone? Khan is like Jones or Smith. This is how our security works in the US? This is how we are catching terrorists? Are you kidding me?" [47]
