SRK & K Jo's My Name Is Khan to do a Slumdog?

Karan Johar will be going global with his movie My Name Is Khan very soon. There had been speculations abound whether Karan would be selling the world rights of the film to either Yash Raj Films or to his new business associate UTV (they have tied up for Qurbaan and Wake Up Sid). ''

But it is now learnt that Karan is tying up with a big international distribution company for the movie. This company is none other than Fox Studios. Apparently, they have already bought Karan's My Name Is Khan for a whopping Rs 100 Crore.''

Multiple Oscar winner Slumdog Millionaire was a Fox product and the aggressive manner by which the studio is known to promote their films worldwide; one is sure My Name Is Khan will definitely be on everyone's lips the world over, during the time of its release. ''

With its topical theme and world's most popular actor Shah Rukh Khan in it, we won't be surprised if the movie shatters box-office records worldwide, apart from generating critical acclaim just like Fox's Slumdog Millionaire.''

However, Karan Johar states that he is still working that out! My Name Is Khan is releasing either end of January or in February. ''

A month of shoot is still left. Karan's film is set against the 9-11 terror attacks and its impact on an Indian Muslim living in the US. It is being touted as the most awaited releases of the year. The film also stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in the lead after a gap of eight long years

These people have their facts wrong. SMD was not promoted fiercely at all. It released in selective theatres and did the festival circuit for quite some time before it caught everyone's attention and spread like wild fire. People did not even know anything about this movie in October/November.

And as far as MNIK is concerned, going the SMD way? Ummm not really as long as Kajol is sporting MM's blingy sarees and you have Jaya Bacchan style bhajangra songs in the background.

there was a time when they thought SDM would go straight to DVD. and it was taken up by the independent wing of the studio and not for a ridiculous deal like this.

🤣 🤣 🤣 Cant stop laughing on this one! I agree with what you have said! Its the treatment and approach that KJO will give this subject which is scaring me the most! I hope with the team he has, he surprises everyone and produces a decent attempt!
