SRK makes history in China

From Berlin, where he is currently shooting for Farhan Akhtar's Don 2, Shah Rukh Khan will be headed to China for the premiere of My Name Is Khan (MNIK).

And this occasion will go down in history because no Indian film has been released in China in the last 30 years. Intense preparations are on for the premiere, tentatively scheduled for November 30 in Beijing.

Producer Karan Johar says, "It's an honour especially since China allows only the release of 20 foreign films a year. I can't remember when was the last time an Indian film was released there.

We must have done something right this time, no?" Karan is already planning Shah Rukh's clothes for the Beijing premiere. Though he's tightlipped about it, we did get to know that it'll be a fusion of ethinic Indian wear with a typical Chinese style.

Vijay Singh CEO of Fox-Star, whose team has been thrown into a flurry of activities by this sudden Chinese invitation, says, "The Chinese authorities are really hard on foreign films. To be asked to release Khan is an amazing honour."

Considering the limited time available to Karan Johar and Fox-Star, it seems more likely that the film would be subtitled in Chinese. But that shouldn't be an impediment for SRK; after all, his name is Khan.

"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...
