- Shah Rukh
MUMBAI (Reuters) – Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan says his upcoming film ‘My Name is Khan’, which pairs him with co-actor Kajol after an on-screen hiatus of eight years, does not have terrorism as its main theme and is mostly a love story.

“This film is first and foremost a love story. In fact this is one of the nicest love stories I have ever participated in – and I have participated in some of the best love stories that have been made here,” Khan told reporters on Wednes-day night after the first look of the film was released.

Directed by Karan Johar, ‘My Name is Khan’ tells the story of an autistic man Rizwan Khan (played by Shah Rukh Khan), who is caught in the aftermath of the September 11 militant attacks in the United States.

Khan, co-actor Kajol and Johar are teaming up after more than eight years, in what has been billed as one of the biggest releases to come out of Bollywood in a while.
