Mumbai: When Karan Johar came up
with 'My Name Is Khan,' it had been
plagued by a lot many controversies,
but the Shah Rukh Khan starrer had
nevertheless got critical and
commercial takers.
Seven years down the line, the tale of
the affable Rizwan Khan, suffering from
Asperger's Syndrome, who's mistaken
for a terrorist thanks to his surname,
still rings hard in the fan's ears.
And now, the film has patronage from
unexpected quarters, in the form of
veteran writer, Paulo Coelho.
The acclaimed writer, took to Facebook
to appreciate the film, and also claimed
that had Hollywood not been
manipulative, Shah Rukh Khan could
probably have won an Oscar for his
performance.
Shah Rukh humbly reciprocated by
thanking the writer and expressing a
desire to meet in person.
Earlier, SRK himself had taken to his
Twitter feed to commemorate the 7th
anniversary of the film, and revealed
that he's saddened to realise that the
film still holds relevance.
Shah Rukh had last been seen in Rahul
Dholakia's successful outing, 'Raees'.
