High hopes for 'My Name Is Khan'

High hopes for 'My Name Is Khan'

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.
