Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol to reunite

Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, two of Bollywood's biggest stars, are reuniting as lead actors in a film for the first time in seven years, its director said.

The pair has starred in some of Bollywood's biggest hits such as "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge," "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" and "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai."

Their new film, called "My Name is Khan," is aiming for a 2009 release, director Karan Johar said during the weekend.

Johar declined to reveal the plot but some local newspapers say Khan will play a Muslim man and highlight the plight of the community following the attacks in the U.S. on September 11, 2001.
