“My Name is Khan” is based on post 9/11

Mumbai: Karan Johar's next coming movie "My Name Is Khan" is based on post 9/11 situation in US.

It's all about a Muslim who suffers from the Asperger syndrome, a form of autism that impacts social interaction abilities.

The guy is arrested as a suspected terrorist in post-9/11 Los Angeles after authorities mistake his disability for suspicious behaviour.

Talking about the movie Karan Johar says, Shah Rukh has played really well in the movie.

Johar says, "Time and again I'm blown away by Shah Rukh. How can he think of so many things about his character when he has so much on his plate?"

"He has done monumental research on his autistic character. I was zapped by how much he knew on the subject. And he brought all the knowledge on the sets." Johar added.
