Shahrukh Khan Detained?

I incidentally came across the storyline of Shahrukh's much talked about upcoming movie "My name is Khan". For some reason, I find a big correlation between this movie and the "unfortunate" incident that happened with him at Newark Airport a few days back. Please follow the wikipedia link to read the known plot of the movie.

The timing and the nature of the incident tells a different story to me altogether. Even though it is very hard to believe, but knowing that the movies like "Newyork" and "Khuda Ke Liye" already had the same storyline, probably another movie with the same plot + many usual dance sequences needed some extra bit to rock the box office for a usual ROI. Above all, is this not a simple fact that Shahrukh + Karan Jauhar's movies are the most marketed in bollywood?

Probably, the indian audiences needed a touch of reality to pack the multiplexes when this movie would be released in Feb 2010. What an effective way of marketting the movie because of the money involved in it? Surely impressive.

Or what a way of brainwashing people. If proved, which probably will never be, would it be termed communal as well?

  1. Sharukh was lucky to get the opportunity to promote his movie.

    I am subject to "Special Registration" program while entering USA. They do very minimal questioning and I never had a trouble. Questioning Sharukh for 2-3 hours and a need to call Indian Consulate seems to be harsher than usual and would upset anyone.

  2. I do not agree.. it was a news in Parliment, so this particular incident can't be a fake one. Why will he do something now, moving going to release on feb 2010 thats a long way to go
