Shahrukh Khan aims for Oscar success

Forget Aishwarya Rai being the global face of Bollywood, it's Shahrukh Khan who is ready to conquer the world with the movie My Name Is Khan.

King Khan was talking in a recent press conference thrown to announce the MNIK distribution deal with the Fox Star Studios. He is co-producing the film along with director and friend Karan Johar. The actor was asked whether he expects to win an Oscar since the last Indian film Fox distributed - Slumdog Millionaire swept the board at the Oscars. SRK answered with his usual wit, "My Oscars should have come 10 years back. I have written a letter to them asking why the delay."

Fox has bought the distribution deal for a reported amount of Rs 98 crore, and that's humungous for any Bollywood film till date. However, Shahrukh and Karan aren't confirming or denying the figure. The president of international productions, Fox, said that the company selected 'My Name Is Khan' because it was "especially unique".

In 'My Name Is Khan', Shahrukh plays Rizwan Khan who suffers from Asperger's Syndrome. With this film once again we can see the ebullient, evergreen pair of Bollywood, SRK and Kajol, together after almost eight years. The film is about love, relationships and also about Islam and Western culture.

The movie will apparently release by early 2010 and Shahrukh will be one step closer to conquering the world.

"It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
