In short, there the three important components: love story, Islam and a mild form of autism, which forms the core of MNIK ,” explains the Bollywood Badshah.

When asked if he is trying to prove something with the title of the film, Shah RukhKhan says, “Then I could have made My Name is Shah Rukh . Right? So, no, this is not a self promotion vehicle. Please do not trivialize or deflect from the intention of the subject. The name of the Movie is relevant to the story that Karan and screenplay writer Shibani Bhatija have visualized.”

How was it tying up with a global studio like Fox? “Initially I thought they were related to Megan Fox, so I was excited that I could get to marry her someday,” said the witty SRK jokingly, “But seriously, it’s a new beginning for all of us.... more so for Indian cinema that has entered world market without having to compromise on its terms, conditions, essence, which I believe is great. I thank Karan for making a film like this, and letting me be a part of it as an actor and a producer and Fox Studious for believing in us, our product and taking it up to the global audience,” elaborates SRK.
