Shahrukh Khan speaks on ‘My Name is Khan’. Is it about religion or about romance?

‘My Name is Khan’, a Shahrukh-Kajol film directed by Karan Johar is the most awaited film of 2010 and it’s almost arrived with the release date of 12th February now only a stone’s throw away. Is the film about religion, a take on the Muslim community and how they are ill-treated or is it about romance between the DDLJ pair?

SRK, in an interview, opens up:

“The film is mainly entertainment. A film normally deals with lots of issues, comedy, or it’s a tragedy or a serious film or a dramatic love story like ‘…Khan’ is meant to be. If one starts talking or deciding on issues before a whole film is seen, it’s kinda not right to do, especially as a filmmaker.

Normally, a film is more than the sum of its parts. It’s not like it’s a love story, it’s got a Karan Johar touch to social cinema, it has an angle of religion, it also has a part of politics, it has a world-shaking incident as a backdrop, it also has a lot of sweet songs. It combines all that.”

So, gear up for the Valentine week and make sure you watch this SRK caper along with your loved ones. It’s surely going to tug at your hearts and give you something to take back home……
