Playing Rizwan in 'My name is Khan' was a challenge: SRK

Bollywood super star Shah Rukh Khan on Wednesday said enacting the character of an autistic person in 'My Name is Khan' was a challenge for him.

"I think it is a very new and difficult concept. I play Rizwan Khan, a person suffering from autism. I prepared well for the role. I hope I have done well."

"Of course, I have taken some cinematic liberties with it," he added.

The 44-year-old actor said when he, Karan (Johar) and Kajol come together they think about what new could be done, and that is how 'My Name Is Khan' has evolved.

The film, which will see the return of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol after a gap of eight years, will release on February 12.

He also thanked the people of the country for loving him and his work for so many years.

Khan, who is also owner the team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) of the Indian Premier League, skirted question on why Pakistani cricketers were not selected during the auction held last week.

Khan said IPL was a game and which should be enjoyed. He said his team KKR was short of the fast bowler which it got, so now his team was complete.

Shahrukh Khan and his records

Shah Rukh Khan is all set to make records this year. Seems like, things are shaping up in a positive way in camp Shah Rukh. There is news and it is quite some news for the Khans. Well the news is that a crater on the moon has been named after him. To which the actor has tweeted on Twitter, the new age micro blogging site “also went to check the crater on the moon.”

Then he adds “cheesy humour…i have been telling everyone today…my name is chand.” Hope the humor is seriously not that cheesy or he did not mean that way the kind it sounds. Nevertheless he is the first from Bollywood to have achieved something like that. He is sharing this honor with the likes of Leonardo Da Vinci, Jules Verne, Sir Isaac Newton and Julius Caesar!

He further adds “also the good thing with the moon property is no municipal taxes…but alas very few neighbours too…” which definitely shows his bland humor of course. Then there is another record that of having maximum followers or visitors following him on Twitter. He has so far some 93,456 followers following him and that too within a month’s time! Isn’t that amazing? Way to go Shah Rukh. All the best form all of us.
