After
choreographer
Ahmed,
it's
actor
Zayed
Khan's
visa
application
that
gets
rejected
this
time.
Surname
to
blame?
If
you
want
to
go
to
the
USA,
your
name
can't
be
Khan.
Zayed
Khan's
visa
application
was
rejected.
Ten
days
ago,
it
was
Ahmed
Khan
who
was
told
to
re-apply.
The
reason
is
the
same:
their
'blacklisted'
surname.
The
two
were
US-bound
for
the
shoot
of
Anjaana
Anjaani.
In
December,
the
film's
producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala's
mother's
visa
was
rejected
when
the
family
had
planned
a
holiday
to
US.
Says
a
source
close
to
Zayed,
"ZK
was
to
leave
this
week
but
now
can
only
go
after
his
visa
comes
through.
Sajid
is
rescheduling
his
dates
as
both
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Priyanka
Chopra
are
already
in
New
York
shooting
for
the
film.
Though
Zayed
has
completed
his
graduation
there
(at
the
American
University
in
Washington
DC)
and
he
has
been
to
the
US
at
least
15
times,
his
visa
application
still
got
rejected."
The
source
adds,
"Zayed's
application
was
rejected
three
days
ago.
Apparently,
he
cracked
a
joke
when
asked
about
the
long
name
on
his
passport.
ZK
told
him,
'My
name
is
Khan.'
The
reference
was
obviously
to
Karan
Johar's
film
My
Name
Is
Khan
and
Shahrukh's
detention
at
the
hands
of
the
US
immigration
authorities
last
year.
The
consulate
officer
wasn't
amused.
He
told
Zayed
to
apply
for
his
visa
again."
Though
Zayed
remained
unavailable
for
comment,
a
source
close
to
him
says,
"It
was
just
meant
as
a
joke.
Zayed
should
get
his
visa
in
a
week's
time.
The
officer
told
him
it
was
just
security
protocol
and
it
would
take
that
time
to
process.
The
officers
are
just
doing
their
job." The
source
adds,
"In
fact,
the
officer
was
extremely
sweet
and
both
Zayed
and
he
had
a
good
laugh
when
the
actor
said
his
name
is
Khan.
The
system
has
changed.
ZK
had
to
go
personally
for
his
visa
interview.
It's
just
a
formality."
Sajid
Nadiadwala
confirms,
"Yes.
Zayed's
passport
is
on
hold."
Anjaana
Anjaani
is
a
romantic
drama
revolving
around
Priyanka
and
Ranbir.
The
film
is
directed
by
Siddharth
Anand.
Zayed
plays
a
character
who
decides
the
fate
of
their
romance.
