From Berlin, where he is currently shooting for Farhan Akhtar's Don 2, Shah Rukh Khan will be headed to China for the premiere of My Name Is Khan (MNIK).
And this occasion will go down in history because no Indian film has been released in China in the last 30 years. Intense preparations are on for the premiere, tentatively scheduled for November 30 in Beijing.
Producer Karan Johar says, "It's an honour especially since China allows only the release of 20 foreign films a year. I can't remember when was the last time an Indian film was released there.
We must have done something right this time, no?" Karan is already planning Shah Rukh's clothes for the Beijing premiere. Though he's tightlipped about it, we did get to know that it'll be a fusion of ethinic Indian wear with a typical Chinese style.
Vijay Singh CEO of Fox-Star, whose team has been thrown into a flurry of activities by this sudden Chinese invitation, says, "The Chinese authorities are really hard on foreign films. To be asked to release Khan is an amazing honour."
Considering the limited time available to Karan Johar and Fox-Star, it seems more likely that the film would be subtitled in Chinese. But that shouldn't be an impediment for SRK; after all, his name is Khan.
