  • The film sees SRK play a man suffering from Asperger Syndrome, who is mistaken for a terrorist post 9/11 and undertakes a long journey across the US to prove his innocence to the love of his life, played by Kajol. It was a story that became uncomfortably real for Shah Rukh when he was detained last year at an American airport, reportedly because of the Khan in his name.

  • At the premiere, Karan Johar spoke about his experience of working with such close friends as Shah Rukh and Kajol.

I don't remember any occasion when we had an argument or things turned ugly on the sets," said the 37-year-old filmmaker.
