In An August 2009 Interview Shahrukh Khan Stated That My Name Is Khan Is "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." 11 "I Think It’s An Exceptionally Relevant Time As The Unity Of Our Nation Is Of Paramount Importance And I Am Very Happy To Witness Such A Movement In Front Of My Eyes. We Are All Coming Together To Fight For A Common Cause – Called Humanity. Everyone Knows That Terrorism Has No Religion And It Will Never Have A Religion. As A Filmmaker I Believe That I Have A Social Responsibility And I Promise To Fulfill That." 12 - Karan Johar's Response To The Increased Unification Between Hindus And Muslims In India Especially After 26/11. As Said To Madhureeta Mukherjee.In An Earlier July 2009 Interview Khan Also Noted That The Film Focuses On Themes Concerning "the Relationship Between The Western World And Islam And How That Has Changed Over The Past Few Years." He Describes The Film As About "the Journey Of One Family And How It Changes Because Of 9/11" And Suggests "we Touch Upon That In A Very Unbiased And Educated Way." 13 In Another Early Interview He Also Stated That "it’s Not About A Disabled Man’s Fight Against Disability. It’s A Disabled Man’s Fight Against The Disability That Exists In The World — Terrorism Hatred Fighting ... My Name Is Khan Is Also About Islam And The Way The World Looks At Islam But We Are Not Taking Any Sides. We Are Only Trying To Say That There Are Only Good People And Bad People. There Are No Good Hindus Bad Hindus Good Christians Bad Christians. Either You Are A Good Person Or A Bad Person. Religion Is Not The Criterion Humanity Is." 14 Edit Production And Publicity Edit Pre-Production And Casting
Shah Rukh Khan And Kajol Were Cast In The Lead Roles Reuniting Them After Many Years. 15 16 The Film Faced A Temporary Setback During Late December When Actor Aamir Bashir Was Denied A Visa To The United States. 17 He Was Eventually Replaced By Jimmy Shergill As Shahrukh Khan's Younger Brother. 18 Although Shabana Azmi Was Originally Cast As Shah Rukh Khan's Mother 19 She Left The Production After Shahrukh Khan's Shoulder Injury Delayed The Filming Schedule. 14 20 She Was Replaced In The Role By Zarina Wahab. 21 Tanay Chheda Portrayed Shah Rukh Khan's Character As A Child Living In The Borivali Section Of Mumbai. 22 Chheda Was Chosen Because He Resembles Shah Rukh Khan And Because He Is Recognizable To An International Audience After Portraying "middle Jamal" In Slumdog Millionaire. 23 American Actor Christopher B. Duncan Was Chosen To Portray President Barack Obama. 24 25 Duncan Is Known For His Interpretation Of Obama On The The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. 26 Johar Also Asked Khan To Co-Produce The Film As "we Were Both Passionate About The Subject We Said Why Not Co-Produce The Film? We’ve Known Each Other So Long ... That This New Initiative Is Just An Extension Of Our Emotions. Besides I Can Never Make A Film Without Shah Rukh. He Is A Big Part Of Me And My Family. He’s Like The Older Brother I Never Had. I Love SRK As A Unit — That Includes His Wife Children Sister And His In-Laws." 27 Edit Filming And Post-Production
Production Of The Film Is Took Place In India And The United States. Filming Began In Los Angeles During December 2008 14 28 And One Of The Locations Used Was UCLA. 29 Johar Next Continued Production In Mumbai During April 2009. 23 During June 2009 Production Moved To San Francisco 30 And The Bay Area Where They Filmed A Key Scene At The Children's Discovery Museum Of San Jose. 31 Johar Had Difficulties Finding A Mosque To Film In. According To Actor Arif Zakaria "I Don't Know If Karan Tried To Get Permission In Mumbai. But We Were To Shoot In A Mosque In Los Angeles And Hard As Karan Tried To Convince The Authorities That His Film Would Not Propagate Anti-Social Values He Was Denied Permission ... We Finally Shot The Two-Day Scene With Shah Rukh Khan On The Set Of A Mosque Constructed At The Club In Andheri." 32 After Filming In Los Angeles Was Completed Johar Stated That "in All My 11 Years As A Filmmaker I’ve Never Felt The Experience To Be So Different. The Content Of My Name Is Khan Is Diametrically Opposite To Whatever I’ve Done In The Past." 18 He Described Working With Both Shah Rukh Khan And Kajol Again As "magic. They Build An Inexplicable Energy On Screen." Johar Also Stated That He Was "blown Away By Shah Rukh Who Had Done Monumental Research On His Autistic Character In The Film. I Was Zapped By How Much He Knew About The Subject." 18 Edit Pre-Release Publicity And Distribution
On 7 August 2009 Karan Johar Signed A Deal For INR 1 Billion With Fox Searchlight Pictures Who Will Market And Distribute It In India FOXSTAR And Worldwide Fox Searchlight . 7 33 Shahrukh Khan Was Later Asked In A December 2009 Interview If He Feels That My Name Is Khan Is "a More International Film Which Should Be Seen By All And Will Have A Far Reaching Influence." Khan Responded That I Have Never Been A Strong Advocate For Global Cinema Because I Don't Think Our Films Turn The Tide Around Though My Directors And Distributors Feel Otherwise. Having Said That I Will Add That MNIK Is A Very Special Topic About Humanity In The Garb Of A Muslim Character ... The Film Is Made On A Large Canvas And Made Larger With Fox Coming On Board. The Subject Material Is Adapted In Terms Of Humanity In A Very Entertaining Way. And With Karan The Best Filmmaker In India Today Directing The Film And Fox Distributing It -- The Message Of Love The Way It Has Been Shot Internationally And The Way Of Releasing It Might Have All The Possibilities Of An International Release. It's Going To Be Released In A Way No Hindi Film Has Been Released Internationally Before With Mega Prints And The Trailer Releasing With Avatar In A First Of Its Kind. 34 On 1 February 2010 Khan And Kajol "became The First Indian Movie Stars To Ring The Opening Bell Of The New York Stock Exchange NASDAQ."

My Name Is Khan Created Several Records Both In India And Around The World. In India The Film Smashed The Record For A Bollywood Release In The Month Of February Breaking The Previous Two-Year Record Held By Jodhaa Akbar. The Film Also Broke The Record For A Bollywood Release In The First Quarter Of The Year Breaking The Previous Two-Year Record Held By Race. In The UK The Film Broke The Four-Year Record Of Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna And Became The Highest-Grossing Bollywood Film In The UK. After Five Weeks My Name Is Khan Overtook 3 Idiots As The Highest-Grossing Film In Overseas Markets. Edit Performance Analysis
Before It's Release My Name Is Khan Generated A Great Deal Of Publicity For Itself Due To Three Main Reasons The First Being The Multiple Political Controversies Surrounding The Film And It's Lead Actor Second Because Of Shahrukh Khan's Presence In The Film And Third Being The Re-Unision Of The "golden Pair" Of SRK-Kajol Who Last Appeared Together In A Film In Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham In 2001. Most Trade Analysts Were Optimistic About The Film And Stated That The Film Would Open Very Well And Had The Potential To Become A Very Big Success. Several Media Outlets Predicted That My Name Is Khan Would Give Very Significant Competition To 3 Idiots Both In India And Especially In Overseas Markets. However There Was A Good Amount Of Skepticism And Criticism For The Film Due To It's Very High Selling Price. The Film Itself Was Made At A Comparatively Small Budget But Was Bought For A Huge Amount Which Many Thought Would Be Difficult To Recover. There Was Also Some Discussion About It's Content Which Was "serious" And "thinking" Not A Satirical Entertainer Like 3 Idiots. It Was Generally Agreed That My Name Is Khan Would Require An Excellent Opening At The Box Office And Would Also Require Very Significant "repeat Value" So As To Be Able To Recover It's Costs. Much Comparisons Between This Film And 3 Idiots Resulted In A Massive Turnout For The Film During It's Initial Weekend. However Mumbai - The Prime Contributor To Any Bollywood Film's Revenue Parts Of Maharashtra And Gujarat Posed A Major Problem To The Film Because Of Severe Protests Against The Screening Of The Film In These Places. This Resulted In A Limited Release In These Areas Which Reportedly Hurt It's Opening Weekend Collections. However After The Release Of The Film It Could Not Hold Very Well Beyond The First Week And Started Showing Considerable Falls All Across India. The Drops In Collections Is Evident From The Fact That 63% Of The Film's Net Collections Came From The First Week As Compared To 54% For Race 56% For Ghajini 49% For Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi And 39% For 3 Idiots. The Collections Of The Film Were Well Below Expectations And Not Even Half Of What 3 Idiots Earned In India. Many Online Box Office Analysts Called It A "debacle" And Even A "flop" Though Technically It Cannot Be Called So. The Film Could Not Match The Collections Of Previous Khan Blockbusters Such As Om Shanti Om Or Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Most People Said That The Overseas Box Office Performance Of The Film Was A Major Plus Point For It And Saved The Film From "falling Flat On It's Face". This Trend Was Similar To The Performance Of The Previous Johar Direction Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. Trade Analysts Provided Several Reasons For The Comparative Under-Performance Of The Film At The Box Office. The Film's Serious Nature Was Attributed To Be A Major Reason For The Film Not Performing Extremely Well At The Box Office With The Word-Of-Mouth Publicity For The Film Being Mixed Tending Towards The Positive. It Was Insufficient To Be Able To Attract More Audiences To The Theaters. In Addition It Had A Comparatively Unfavorable Release Time - February Is Usually Not A Major Box Office Earner Because Of Examination Time And Little Or No Holidays. Also While 3 Idiots Had Comparatively No Competition From Other Films My Name Is Khan Faced Competition From Several Other Films Such As Karthik Calling Karthik And Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?.

But This Film About Damaged Lives Needs No Repairing. My Name Is Khan Is A Flawless Work As Perfect In Content Tone And Treatment As Any Film Can Get ... My Name Is Khan Is No Ordinary Film. Long After The Wary-Of-Physical-Touch Rizwan Has Finally Shaken Hands With President Obama Long After The Heat And Dust Of Racial And Communal Hatred Has Settled Down The Core Of Humanism That The Film Secretes Stays With You.

SRK Well How Does One Describe His Performance? To State That This Is His Best Work So Far Would Be Cutting Short The Praise He Truly Deserves ... Kajol Is Pure Dynamite And Casting Her For This Character Was The Most Appropriate Decision. No Other Actress Could've Matched SRK In Histrionics The Way Kajol Has. In Fact SRK And Kajol Complement Each Other Wonderfully Well And This Film Only Proves It Yet Again. It's A Powerhouse Performance From This Supremely Talented Actress." 56 Rajeev Masand Of CNN-IBN Gave My Name Is Khan Three And A Half Out Of Five Stars Arguing That "the Film Shamelessly Tugs At Your Heartstrings And On More Than One Occasion Wallops You To Weep.

Most Interesting Here Is The Link Made Between Black Americans And Indians Especially Muslims. Skillfully Directed By Karan Johar And With An Evocative Score By Shankar Ehsaan & Loy Khan Jerks Tears With Ease While Teaching Lessons About Islam And Tolerance." 62 According To Kirk Honeycutt Of The Hollywood Reporter My Name Is Khan Is "a Film That Delves Compellingly Into Americans' Anti-Muslim Hysteria" As It Tackles "a Subject American Movies Have Mostly Avoided -- That Of Racial Profiling And The Plight Of Muslim-Americans. It Also Allows Shah Rukh Khan To Display His Talent To An Even Wider Audience. It's Well Worth The 162-Minute Journey." 63 Kevin Thomas Of The Los Angeles Times Argues That My Name Is Khan Is "a Potent Energetic Heart-Tugger And Khan And Kajol Major Bollywood Stars Are Highly Appealing And Equal To The Demand Of Their Emotion-Charged Roles." 64 Jay Wesissberg Of Variety Describes My Name Is Khan As A "riotously Overstuffed And Enormously Enjoyable Drama" With "confident Camerawork Which Is Matched By Exceptional Production Design" He Also States That Shah Rukh Khan And Kajol Are A "delight Together And Her Natural Warmth Makes The Relationship Even More Believable." 3 Edit Soundtrack

Edit Lyrics
Although Niranjan Iyengar Is Alone Credited For Writing The Lyrics For The Songs Niranjan Penned The Only Two Sufi Songs In The Film Ie 'Sajda' And 'Allah Hi Rahem'. The Famous Lyricist Javed Akhtar Was Approached To Write The Lyrics For The Remaining Three Songs. Earlier It Was Reported That He Refused To Write Lyrics Because Javed Akhtar Did Not Want To Share The Credits With Another Lyricist Since Niranjan Iyengar Has Written Two Songs For The Film." 69 Later Karan Johar Confirmed That Javed Akhtar Penned The Remaining Songs But Javed Did Not Want Him To Be Credited As The Lyricist When The Soundtrack Relesed As He Had To Share The Credits With Nirinjan Iyenger. 70 Javed Confirmed This And Said “I Don’t Like To Share The Credits. I Would Have Got The Publicity But The Other Person Who Has Done A Fine Job Wouldn’t Have. I Have Read The Songs Penned By Niranjan And I Think He Has Done A Great Job.” 71 Edit Controversies Edit Airport Security
Khan Has Stated That Due To His Last Name And Religion He Like Rizwan Khan Is Frequently Subject To Excess Security Checks At Airports.

Upon Arriving At Newark Airport In New Jersey He Was Pulled Aside By Immigration Officers After His Name Popped Up On Their Computers 72 Questioned For Over An Hour Khan Claims It Was At Least Two Hours About The Nature Of His Visit And Was Later Released. According To The Times Online "In Delhi Timothy J. Roemer The American Ambassador To India Said That The Embassy Was Trying To 'ascertain The Facts Of The Case.' He Added 'Shah Rukh Khan The Actor And Global Icon Is A Welcome Guest In The United States.'" 73 74 Khan Said He Was Told That It Was Because "they Said My Name Was Common To Some Name That Popped Up On The Computer." 75 76 The Officials Asked If He Could Provide Names Of People To Vouch For Him. Khan Noted That He "had All The Documents They Were Asking Me Where I Was Going To Be Staying. I Gave The Name Of FOX People With Whom I Had Finalised A Deal A Few Days Ago As Contacts." However Because They Wanted To Check His Luggage Which The Airline Had Lost Khan Said That He "was Taken To A Room Where Many People Were Awaiting A Secondary Check On Visa Most Were Asians. In Fact Many Officers Were Reluctantly Vouching For Me Some People Were Asking For Autographs And A Pakistani Fan Even Said He Knew Who I Was. But The Officers Said It Was Procedure And Kept Taking Numbers From Me." 75 77 "I Did Feel Bad For A Lot Of People In That Room I Know Because I Had An Escort And Someone Would Recognise Me I Will Get Out. Others May Face More Trouble ... I Have Extra Security Because Of My Name. I Can Handle This But When You Have Someone As Respectable As An Ex-President Getting Frisked I Am Nobody In Reference To The Frisking Of President A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Earlier In The Summer . ... I Think It Is A Procedure That Needs To Be Followed. But It Is An Unfortunate Procedure." Shah Rukh Khan On Being Frisked At Newark Airport 75 While He Was Not Allowed To Use His Own Phone Khan Was Permitted One Phone Call. 73 He Was Thus Released After Officials From The Indian Consulate Intervened. Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel Stated That The Event Will Be Further Explored With U.S. Officials. 76 According To The BBC "Elmer Camacho A Spokesman For The US Bureau Of Customs And Border Protection Said The Questioning Was Part Of The Agency's Routine Process To Screen Foreign Travellers." 78 When Asked If He Would Demand An Apology Khan Replied That He Would Not. 79 The Director Of My Name Is Khan Karan Johar Was Asked During An August 2009 Interview With MiD DAY If The Event Was A Publicity Stunt For The Film. Johar Denied That It Was And Responded "It's Upsetting Because I Got A Text Message This Morning Asking Me If It Was Publicity Plug For My Movie. Sarcastically I Mean If I Had That Much Power Over The Homeland Security Why Would I Allow Shah Rukh To Go Through Something Like This? ... What's Really Shocking Is The Fact That When I Was Writing The Film I Never Thought That What Happened To The Protagonist Of The Film Would Happen To Shah Rukh." 80 During A January 2010 Interview Khan Referred To The Implication That The Event Was A Publicity Stunt For The Film As "lowdown And Cheap." 81 American Actor Christopher B. Duncan Who Portrays President Obama In My Name Is Khan Also Commented On The Incident Stating "I Was Very Disappointed With What SRK Experienced At The Airport. We’re Living In Times Where The Levels Of Fear Can Sometimes Spill Over Into Paranoia. Here’s A Man Who Is An International Superstar Being Detained For An Excessive Amount Of Time At An Airport In The United States. It Had To Be Very Upsetting For Him. Imagine Oprah Winfrey Being Detained At An Airport In India For A Long Time During A Kind Of Interrogation." 25 In Addition The Incident Sparked Debate And Commentary Among Indian Politicians Actors And Others. 82 83 84 85 86 It Also Led To Demonstrations In India. 87 California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger Later Invited Khan To Have Dinner With Him "in A Bid To Diffuse What Has Become A Slight Diplomatic Row." 88 In Another Event On 5 February 2010 While Promoting My Name Is Khan On The British Talk Show Friday Night With Jonathan Ross Khan Claimed That Female Security Staff At Heathrow Airport In London Had Printed A Naked Image Of Him Taken Using The Newly-Installed Body Scanner That He Was Asked To Go Through. He Said That He Autographed It For Them Though It Is Not Clear If His Comments Were Intended As A Joke. A BAA Spokeswoman For Heathrow Airport However Has Denied His Claim. She Claimed That It Was“completely Factually Incorrect” Stressing That Images Captured Using The Equipment Could Not Be Stored Or Distributed In Any Form And That His Claims "simply Could Not Be True." 89 The American Radio Host Alex Jones However Disputed Heathrow Airport's Claim While Pointing To An Earlier Statement By UK Transport Secretary Lord Adonis The Week Before Stating That Scans Are Deleted "immediately"and Staff Carrying Out The Procedure Are Fully Trained And Supervised. The Incident Has Become An Issue Tying In To Current Concerns Over Whether The Body Scanners Violate Rights To Privacy And Whether It Can Be Abused By Staff In Order To Distribute Child Pornography Or Naked Pictures Of Famous People. 90 In Relation To Khan's Comments The Economic Times Has Also Raised Concerns Over The New Body Scanners And The Possibilities Of It Being Abused To Distribute Naked Pictures Of Celebrities And Famous People. 91 His Comments Have Restarted The Debate In Britain Over Whether The Newly-Introduced Body Scanners Violate Individual Privacy. 92 Edit Shiv Sena Controversy
After Shah Rukh Khan Who Owns The Kolkata Knight Riders Cricket Team Criticized The Fact That Members Of The Pakistani Cricket Team Were Not Bought By The Clubs Competing In The 2010 Indian Premier League IPL He Was Condemned By Shiv Sena A Hindu Nationalist Political Party . There Were Consequent Protests And Demonstrations Against Him And Demands That Cinemas In India Refuse To Screen My Name Is Khan. Khan Responded By Stating "What Did I Say That Was Wrong? All I Said Was That I Wanted People To Come To My Country." 93 Khan Continued By Stating That "I Have No Idea What I Am Supposed To Apologise For ... If I Am In Wrong I Would Like To Apologise But Someone Needs To Explain To Me What Is Wrong." 94 He Also Stated That He Does "not Want Any Confrontation. I Am Trying To Explain Myself On Every Platform ... I Have Not Said Anything That Is Anti-National." Khan Also Said That He Was Willing To Meet With Bal Thackeray To Discuss The Issue. 95 96 Initially Shiv Sena Rescinded Its Demand To Block Release Of My Name Is Khan After It Was Announced That Khan Would Be Allowed To Release It "in As Many Theatres" As He Would Like To. 97 However On Tuesday 10 January 2010 When Theatres Opened For Advanced Bookings Individuals Disguised As "cinegoers" Began To Attack Theatres And Booking Centres. Director Karan Johar And Distributors Met With Police To Ask For Additional Security. 98 In Response Chief Minister Of Maharashtra Ashok Chavan Threatened To Withdraw Security Cover For Party Leader Uddhav Thackeray. 99 Later Some Security Was Withdrawn And The Maharashtra Government Has Also "called In Five Battalions Of The State Reserve Police Force To Protect 63 Cinemas In The City That Will Screen The Film Directed By Karan Johar From This Friday." There Have Been Multiple Arrests And Leave Of All Police Officials Has Been Cancelled. 100 The Distributor Fox Star Stated That The Film Will Still Be Released On Its Scheduled Opening Date 12 February. 101 It Opened To Full Cinema Houses In Quite A Number Of Places Across India. 102 103 104 105 106 Edit "Khan Not A Recognizable Muslim Name In USA"
The Movie Depicts That American People Recognize Rizwan And Sameer As Muslims Due To Their Last Names Being Khan. However Khan Is Not Popular As A Muslim Name In USA. Most American People Know The Name "Khan" By Notable Historical Figures Such As Genghis Khan Who Was A Mongolian Or Khan Noonien Singh Who Was A Sikh. Khan Is A Central Asian Title Which Was Adopted By Certain Muslims In South Asia And Is Therefore Know As A Muslim Name Primarily In India Pakistan And Afghanistan. Since The Movie Is Targeted Mainly At The Indian Audiences It Was Considered Acceptable That "Rizwan" Gets Into Problem In USA Because Of His Surname Being "Khan". Edit See Also
