Akshay Kumar to star in KHAN???
May 10, 2008 (Sawf News) - Ranbir Kapoor will co-star with Shah Rukh Khan in Karan Johar’s Next - My Name is Khan. Kajol is expected to play the female lead but has not formally accepted the assignment, as scripting is yet not complete.
Ranbir will play a jehadi in the long delayed film, which is finally underway, with Karan in Los Angles scouting for locations.
Ranbir recently told the press that he was very excited about the film and the chance to work with Shah Rukh.
The wily Karan, who tends to play safe by packing his film with a strong star cast, is also keen to rope in Akshay Kumar!
Shah Rukh will play a Muslim who gets wrongly detained on a flight because his last name is Khan and the authorities believe that must make a terrorist.
The first half of the film is based on the real life experience of a couple that was wrongly detained; Karan Johar has bought the story rights from them.
The film is expected to go on floor in October, after Shah Rukh completes filming for Aditya Chopra’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

I just hope Karan does not keep on adding stars for the sake of film’s commercial viability with no or little relevance to the actual script.compromise with the script should be the last thing in his mind when he is trying to deal with a sensitive issue like Terrorism.

Im liking the plot…….but Akshay??? I doubt that…..unless it’s a role thats equally worthy..and I doubt that very much
Also looking at Akki’s schedule….

Akshay is very unlikely to do the role. In fact I’d be stunned if he accepted it. He’s not about to do a role where he’d be less than central, were he inclined to do this he would assuredly not do it in a SRK film! Unless of course this is a special appearance of some sort.
