The love for Karan Johar can make Shah Rukh Khan do anything… even drop movies with two directors.
Munnabhai director Rajkumar Hirani first got the ‘no’ from Shah Rukh, after he agreed to star in his film, and now Sivaji director Shankar has said Khan has turned down Robot also. It was said that Shah Rukh couldn’t get on with producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra for the Hirani film, and creative differences made him ditch Robot. But the real reason is that Shah Rukh Khan has done it on pal Karan Johar’s say so.
Karan Johar’s My Name Is Khan, which initially was to begin production in May, has been brought forward to December; a period in which Shah Rukh would have been doing the other two movies. Karan wants to capture the US winter, which is part of the script, and beleives next year might be too late…
And if he begins shooting the film now, then it may be ready for Eid-Ul-Fitr next year (Early October 2008). Karan has seen the huge box office first week collections of Bhool Bhulaiyya and Lagaa Chunari Mein Daag in the UK (both released at Eid) and wants to capitalise on this for next year. A Karan Johar film centering on a Muslim character (Khan) and his wife (Kajol) is a perfect release for Eid in the UK.
What are your thoughts on this decision from Shah Rukh Khan… do you believe he is right to ditch two top name directors for Karan Johar? And what are your thoughts on releasing My Name Is Khan on Eid to capitalise the UK market? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

This love is too much,I hope they are not gays,Na waoooo.
This is what friendship is all about!But King Khan should not say no to the other 2 movies cause we wanted him to see in another movie!Those who say that karan and King khan are in love,now you now that even in the showbiz their is something called friendship!all the other actors are bad exempel for bollywood cause they believe in the theory of their is nothing called friendship in showbiz BUT SRK proofed it wrong!
srk movies played with anyone on anytime will rock……..he is the only superstar of india
Srk do the film ‘Robot’ its a good script for you, make sure. and khan is also good for you. dnt worry bout hirani’s film.
Karan Johar brings back dynamic duo Shahrukh and Kajol? SURE!! I’m sure other directors will understand this reason too.
To AM!Hahaha,
That was good(Karan Johar brings back dynamic duo Shahrukh and Kajol? SURE!! I’m sure other directors will understand this reason too.)Good cause we want to see Them together as soon as possible!They shuld start in december rather than march as it was scheduled!I am glad they that they made the movie early!
well done srk.
SRK is one man who has really stolen the hearts of his fan especially from Nigerian. Most of us are so so crazy about him, and everytime his movies are released, we go crazy about it. Whatever binds Karan Johar and SRK together so much that SRK had to drop other director’s, its left to them. But the hint thing is that Kajol and SRK must start quickly, cos’ we can’t wait to see My Name is Khan in the Nigeria Market. Plz, get get me posted through my mail address immediately its released. We all love you SRK and Kajol, but I’m so so crazy about you guys. Colud you pls, SRK see me a mail (your fan) and Kajol too, plz?
