Shah Rukh Khan refuses Shankar's 'ROBOT'

Shah Rukh Khan created a small stir when he announced that he is out of work for eight months, since he as opted out of the two films he had committed to – Shankar’s ‘Robot’, and Rajkumar Hirani’s next, based on Chetan Bhagat’s book, ‘Five Point Someone’. He stated that he had creative differences with the former, and that Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s accusations made him leave the latter.

However, according to sources, these are not the main reasons for his voluntary unemployment. Apparently, he is all set to star in Karan Johar’s ‘My Name Is Khan’, to go on floor soon.

The friendship between Johar and King Khan is legendary, and it is also a well-known fact that SRK is biased towards his friends. In fact, he would have put critics to shame if he had done the other two projects, since they are always accusing him of favouritism.

It is also believed that another possible reason for SRK to break his commitments to the other projects is Kajol – the Karan Johar film brings together the hit SRK-Kajol pair back to screen after a gap of six years.

The source adds, “Karan keeps hopping between US and India, and he is very excited about the project.

Presently Shah Rukh’s and Kajol’s looks are being worked out and the costumes other details are in their final stages. This usually happens when the film is about to start.”

‘My Name Is Khan’ is about a Muslim man, viewed suspiciously, after the 9/11 terror attack.
