Shahrukh To Co-produce “My Name Is Khan” Alongwith Karan

Till date Shahrukh was just the leading actor in Karan Johar’s next directorial venture My Name Is Khan but now the superstar has decided to co-produce the film. The decision apparently came after Karan told the actor that he can’t underpay him (Karan thinks SRK is “beyond any remuneration”) and the best remuneration Karan can afford is to let SRK have a stake in the film.

Good friend of Johar that he is, SRK has agreed to co-produce the film under his banner Red Chillies Entertainment. The two have in the past teamed up as producers for Kaal which was a flop at the box office.

Since ‘My Name Is Khan’ happens to be a big project, and one close to Karan’s heart at that, the director asked SRK to chum in as co-producer “for emotional reasons”.

Moreover, Karan thinks SRK’s wife Gauri Khan (who will be credited as official co-producer of the film) is lucky. On top of it, Karan says he can use SRK’s expertise as producer to good effect for ‘My Name Is Khan’. The movie has Kajol pairing up with SRK after a gap of many years. Source
