Behind-the-scenes photos from Karan Johar’s much-anticipated film MY NAME IS KHAN starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.

My Name is Khan reunites Shah Rukh Khan – named by Time magazine as “the world’s biggest movie star” – and Kajol for the first time in eight years. They have previously starred in five films together, including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, all of which were blockbuster hits that established the pair as Bollywood’s hottest on-screen couple.

In My Name is Khan, Shah Rukh Khan stars as Rizvan Khan, an unconventional hero who embarks on an incredible journey across America in order to win back the love of his life. Along the way his unique brand of goodness and humanity touches the lives of many and inspires a nation.

Shot extensively in the United States, MY NAME IS KHAN will hit theaters worldwide on February 12, 2010, and will be released in North America by Fox Searchlight Pictures which previously released The Namesake, Bend it Like Beckham, Water, and Slumdog Millionaire.
