Shahrukh at a recent press meet of his forthcoming film My Name is Khan confirmed, ‘This is my new avatar”.

However there was nothing extraordinary and then SRK smiled and told, “Rizwaan Khan, my new avatar in MNIK.”

“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”.

When reporters ask him about his name ‘Khan’ featuring in the title he tells, “Then I could have made My Name is Shah Rukh . Right? So, no, this is not a self-promotion vehicle. Please do not underestimate 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.”

My Name is Khan has inked a Rs 92 crore deal with Fox studios, the highest any Indian film ever got.
