According to SRK, Muslims has faced extra inquiry after the 2001 attacks in the United States. Khan asserted:

If you travel internationally with a Muslim surname, you might be considered as a terrorist. At London airport, every time I go, people recognize me but they see my second name and they give me an extra checking.

In addition, he said that he had undergone greater religious bias overseas, albeit India, which is majority Hindu but home to 140 million Muslims, sees regular sectarian violence.

Referring to a general Hindu surname Khan further asserted:

There is no difference between a Khan and a Kumar surname here but internationally it makes a difference.

The movie will be titled, 'My Name is Khan', and it will be directed by Khan's pal, Karan Johar.

Whereas, the shoot of the flick is projected to commence early next year and will hit our silver screens in summers.
