Birthday boy Shah Rukh Khan's 'My Name is Khan' to release in Feb next

Mumbai, November 2: 'My Name is Khan', the upcoming movie of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who turned today Monday, will hit the screens worldwide on February 12 next year.

The film, directed by Karan Johar, will see the return of the successful pair of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajor on the big screen after a gap of eight years.

The actors, who worked together in blockbuster hits like ‘Bazigar’, ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’ and ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, were last seen in Johar's ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’ in 2001.

"I keep setting out to do something different with my films, but the one constant that remains is my desire to continue to explore the many ways in which two people can fall in love and stay in love regardless of any or every challenge against them," director Karan Johar, who last worked with Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’ said.

"With this film, we hope to meet the audiences' expectations and we hope to entertain audiences, both in India and around the world in a manner that has perhap never been done before," he added.

The film, at its core, is an epic love story between two people who have a unique way of seeing the world, but what sets it apart is the landscape on which the story unfolds, said the director.
