My Name Is Khan completes 7 years, Paulo Coelho says Shah Rukh Khan deserved an Oscar for the film
Shah Rukh Khan’s movie My Name Is Khan completed seven years today, here’s why the superstar still feels sad.
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, whose movie My Name Is Khan on Sunday clocked seven years since its release, feels sad that the film’s plot about the plight of Muslims in the US after 9/11 is still relevant in present times.
The 2010 drama film, which also featured actress Kajol, told the story of Rizvan Khan, who embarks on a journey to meet the US President after his son’s killing and attempts to change people’s perception about religion.
Shah Rukh tweeted: “It’s kinda sad too that My Name Is Khan is still relevant. But thanks Karan (Johar), Ravi, Kajol, SEL Shibani Niranjan Deepa Jimmy and all cast/crew for a special film.”

The actor’s message, it seems, hints at US President Donald Trump’s controversial executive order to temporarily bar entry into the US to refugees and citizens from seven Muslim-majority nations.
The order suspends for 120 days the entry of all refugees and the issuing of visas for 90 days for citizens from seven countries — Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Iran — until new mechanisms can be put in place to screen them more effectively.
