Shah Rukh MY NAME IS KHAN has Duncan as US President Obama!!

Shah Rukh Khan, the Badshah of bollywood who plays Rizwan Khan in Karan Johar's upcoming film 'My Name Is Khan' opposite ravishing Kajol, does not meet the original US President Barack Obama but his impersonator Christopher Duncan.



As it was almost impossible to arrange a real meeting with the US President and to shoot that sequence for his film, Karan Johar decided to use a US actor who was famous for his impersonation of the first black President. In fact, Duncan had already impersonated Obama in popular US shows like Jay Leno and The Jammie Foxx. It was for this sequence that Karan Johar had sought the permission of US security agencies to allow him to shoot on the lawns of White House.



Fortunately for Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar, they were allowed to shoot the sequence and became the first bollywood producer to do so. In the film, Shah Rukh Khan sets out to meet the US president as he believes that it would help him win the love of his life.



Kajol, the gorgeous actress who sizzled with Shah Rukh Khan in movies like 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' and 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', plays Khan's love interest in the film. She is a single parent in the film who falls for Shah Rukh Khan due to his charming ways and peculiar conditions.

Shah Rukh Khan's character of Rizwan Khan suffers from a rare disease of Asperger and has problems in interacting with people. As the film has been set in the post 9/11 New York, the security agencies at an airport in the US apprehend him for questioning and humiliate him.


It is during these interrogations that Shah Rukh Khan delivers the memorable lines of 'My name is Khan. But I am not a terrorist'. As the US security agencies were suspecting him of being one of the terrorists due to his peculiar diseased condition and surname Khan.

The film is being distributed by Fox star, which expects it to do very well at the box office. Sources say that they have bought the film for a whopping Rs 100 crore and would like to recover as fast as they could from the box office. The movie is due for a world wide release on Valentine day in February.

'My Name Is Khan' is very important film for Shah Rukh Khan and could change the course of his bollywood career. This is especially so after Aamir Khan's '3 Idiots' broke all previous box office records. Now, pressure is on Shah Rukh Khan to show some bigger result with this release, if he wants to maintain his numero uno position in bollywood.

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "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...
