Karan Johar’s next film My Name is Khan, is finally expected to go on the floors in August this year.
The film stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in the lead. Post-marriage and motherhood, this will be Kajol’s third film. After her comeback with Kunal Kohli’s Fanaa, Karan has been very keen to work with his favourite actress.
A source says, "The film revolves around the relationship of a husband and wife and what happens between them post 9/11. A bulk of the filming will take place in the US. Since most of the film will be shot on locales in and around UK, it remains to be seen whether Kajol will take up the project. The actress has always maintained that she does not like to be away from her daughter for too long. Currently, the actress is busy with her home production U Me Aur Hum." Following the success of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kajol took a sabbatical from movies. This is the only film that SRK has signed for the year and will be putting his entire attention on it after his other releases.
In an interview Karan Johar said, "I'll start around August 2008. It's a project that needs careful handling. There's a lot of conjecture….is it about 9/11 terrorism. But at heart Khan—that's what I want to call it—is a love story. For the first time I'm not writing my own film. Shibani Bhatija is. She co-wrote Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna with me. It's my story but her screenplay. I'm enjoying the experience of watching the plot evolve from the outside. Every day we discuss the characters."
