Meet my new avatar: SRK

Shah Rukh Khan always has something new to offer when he comes before the public. So it wasn’t surprising when King Khan, at a press meet of My Name is Khan , announced, ‘This is my new avatar” a she presented himself.

Well, the for the media present, there wasn’t anything unusual about the charming King Khan. He was like always, witty, lovable, smilingly holding the fort with his boyish charm. So than what’s new besides the absence of the fancy sling which he had been recently flaunting to support his pained shoulder?

“Rizwaan Khan, my new avatar in MNIK,” SRK replied flashing his dimpled smile. Truly so. As the new look of the film was unveiled there was a widespread buzz about the new avatar of the actor. SRK, perhaps in one of the most challenging role of his life, plays an autistic character in this film that examines how the life of a Muslim man from India living in San Francisco embarks on a remarkable journey across the United States, inspiring people and inviting debate, creating an accidental revolution.


“My Name Is Khan’ is the most special film for both Karan Johar and me. And unlike the rumors, it’s 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, 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.

Shah Rukh Khan thanks Karan for making him a huge star

Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar’s thick friendship has been the envy of the film industry for more than a decade now. At the recent press conference to announce the sale of the distribution rights of their My Name Is Khan to the prestigious Fox Star Studios, the King Khan openly admitted in his speech that he was really thankful to Karan Johar for making him the huge star he was. Just at that time, Karan who was seated on the dais, blushed. Now seeing his best buddy go red in the face, SRK joked, “Come on, Karan, you don’t have to blush. In private, you keep reminding me and boasting about how you’ve made me a big star”

Later when it was Karan Johar’s time to speak, he revealed why he was happy to take Shah Rukh Khan as a partner in his production ventures, like he has done in his latest under-production film, My Name Is Khan. “Since I am childless, and it’ only my mother and me in the family, it makes sense that Shah Rukh’s children should hold the negative rights of my films. I often ask Aryan and Suhana to choose the films they want from my library and they do have their favourites.”
