The all time favourite on-screen couple SRK and Kajol are back after a break of eight years in Karan Johar’s
next movie. Will the DDLJ and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai magic be left behind or is this just the beginning of another classic love story?

Karan Johar has decided to keep that a secret and all that he is saying is My Name Is Khan.

“People came up to me as I was walking down LA’s boulevard saying is there a song like Sooraj Hua Madham or like Kabhi Khushi … and I was like no,” said Karan, addressing a news conference in Mumbai after the Rs 100 crore deal with FOX studios was announced.

This is a first Karan Johar film that will have no songs. My Name is Khan is special for the filmmaker in more ways than one.

“Karan and I talk about it a lot, he thinks that Kajol and I are the perfect on screen couple,” said SRK.

“I love the two of them and I’m very scared that they are coming together after so long,” said Karan, who said in one of his earlier interviews that he could not have made the movie without Kajol and Shah Rukh.

“Whatever said and done Kajol is the corner stone of the film,” said Shah Rukh.

But for those expecting the typical SRK-Kajol romance on screen are in for a surprise. “There is love for those looking for it but it’s intrinsic to the characters, you will have to find it,” said Karan.

“It’s a film about two people, about a bunch of people , about a neighbourhood, about two neighbourhoods, a city, a county and then the world,” said SRK.

The film is also another first for Karan Johar as it is his shortest film ever. “My shortest film is three hours and three minutes.”

A mega deal, a tight script and Bollywood’s favourite on-screen couple, My Name Is Khan seems like a sure shot winner.
