High hopes for 'My Name Is Khan'

WENN

Fox STAR Studios has said that it hopes My Name Is Khan can recreate the success of Slumdog Millionaire, which it distributed earlier this year.

Chief executive Vijay Singh claimed that the Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer has the potential to attract a similarly global audience.

He told a news conference: "This is the kind of story that will appeal across the world and also to Islamic countries because of the subject of the film."

Fox International Productions president Sanford Panitch added: "This is just the beginning of a relationship for this kind of collaboration.

"This is the first mainstream Bollywood film that we will be distributing worldwide. This is an ongoing commitment to Bollywood from our side."

My Name Is Khan is scheduled for release in February next year.

Hope Karan delivers this time around. he has got 2 of the biggest stars in his movie.

me too have high expcetation for MNIk hope it wil be outstanding moie inshalla

After watching the first look poster, this movie better be Brilliant

Lets see how it does be amazing if it is as big..

it's going to be a blockbuster for sure no doubt about it i just know cuz it has 2 big stars in it

IT HAS TO BEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!😛😛 otherwise I'm goin to kill Karan 😆

Reason for high hopes

1. SRK and Kajol. That is a winner right there.

2. The whole publicity the movie gained from SRK being detained at the airport, and going, "I got detained, since My Name Is Khan." My next door neighbour who is generally clueless about Hindi movies figured there was a movie named MNIK.

3. Karan tweets about photoshoot, shots and everything about the movie almost daily. He rarely mentions anything about the other movies he is producing, but the one thing I can predict he will tweet on in the next 7 days is "how-amazing-SRK-Kajol-are" "the hectic shoots" and his nervousness related to the movie. One can always argue that the man is genuine, well, then it's incredibly funny that 99% tweets are around MNIK. I admit it's the project he is working on, but the funny thing is he started talking about the project on his blog, then moved to the world of twitter. Publicity, publicity, publicity.

I will be rendered speechless, if the movie is a epic flop, which it will never be. If RNBDJ can be a HIT, then this will certainly be a super hit, and will break all box office records.

Personally cant wait for this movie, more than anything for Kajol and for the return of SRK/Kajol pairing. Keeping my fingers crossed for how Karan deals with the such a delicate and sensitive subject!
