Karan
Johar
is
one
of
the
most
popular
directors
that
Bollywood
has
ever
seen.
But
little
did
anyone
expect
that
he
would
make
it
to
the
Oscars,
the
most
prestigious
film
awards
in
the
world,
one
day.
Well,
Karan
Johar
has
not
yet
made
it
to
the
platform
but
his
latest
release
My
Name
Is
Khan
has
been
named
as
one
of
the
films
to
be
considered
for
the
nominations
at
the
Academy
Awards
this
year.
For
Karan
Johar,
this
is
an
achievement
in
itself.
In
a
statement
to
the
media,
the
filmmaker
says
that
he
had
made
My
Name
Is
Khan
to
make
people
aware
of
the
subject
being
treated
in
the
film,
little
did
he
realize
then
that
My
Name
Is
Khan
would
be
showered
with
so
much
love
and
fans
all
over
the
world.
My
Name
Is
Khan
is
the
highest
grossing
film
from
Bollywood
in
the
United
States.
On
the
other
hand,
if
the
Karan
Johar
production
is
able
to
secure
an
Academy
Award,
My
Name
Is
Khan
will
also
become
the
first
film
from
the
Hindi
film
industry
to
breakthrough
at
the
final
levels
of
the
Oscars.
The
story
of
My
Name
Is
Khan
is
set
at
the
backdrop
of
the
9/11
attacks
in
the
US,
a
subject
that
is
also
relevant
in
America,
therefore
it
is
but
natural
that
the
film
be
liked
by
the
American
citizens.
Also
to
be
kept
in
mind
is
the
fact
that
the
Shahrukh
Khan
starrer
has
been
distributed
in
the
US
by
Fox
Star
Studios,
the
name
behind
the
Oscar
winner
Slumdog
Millionaire.
So,
will
Shahrukh
Khan
and
buddy
Karan
Johar
step
on
the
Oscars
platform?
Keep
the
fingers
crossed!
