Karan Johar On My Name Is Khan: I'm Proud Of Shahrukh Khan & The Way He Played The Character
While praising Shahrukh Khan for his marvelous performance in My Name Is Khan, director Karan Johar said, "I am proud of the context of the film. I am proud of Rizwan Khan, played by Shah Rukh Khan."
Karan
Johar
is
proud
of
his
2010
blockbuster
My
Name
is
Khan
but
the
director
says
if
he
had
a
chance
to
revisit
the
film
he
would
have
made
some
technical
changes
to
make
the
movie
look
better.
The
film
was
about
an
Indian
Muslim
man
Rizwan
Khan
(Shah
Rukh
Khan),
with
Asperger's
syndrome
who
embarks
on
a
journey
to
meet
the
President
of
the
United
States
of
America
and
attempts
to
change
people's
perception
about
his
religion
after
9/11
attacks.
Johar
said
if
he
had
the
chance
to
revisit
the
film
he
would
have
directed
the
'hurricane'
sequence
again.
"When
a
film
is
made
you
do
get
a
chance
of
evaluation
of
what
is
right
and
what
is
wrong.
Every
time
I
see
my
films,
I
feel
there
is
a
scope
for
improvement.
There
is
a
hurricane
section
in
the
filmwhere
I
felt
in
a
direction
I
did
not
do
it
well.
It
was
my
mistake.
So,
if
I
had
(the
chance
to)
revisit
I
could
have
changed
that
15
minutes
scene.
"I
am
proud
of
the
communication
of
the
film,
I
am
proud
of
the
context
of
the
film.
I
am
proud
of
Rizwan
Khan,
played
by
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
the
way
he
played
the
character,
and
the
message.
I
was
very
proud
of
it.
I
am
grateful
to
writer
Shibani
Bathija,"
Johar
told
reporters
at
a
song
launch
event,
where
6-Pack
Band
2.0
released
their
new
track
"Jhakkad
Pakkad
Dance".

Six

its

The
new

focuses
on
mental
health

The
