Kajol is making her fans more than happy this year. The actress is back with a bang and has no less than three releases. Kireet Khurana’s Toonpur Ka Superhero, Siddharth Malhotra’s Love you Maa (tentative title) and she starts 2010 with Karan Johar’s My Name is Khan.
Though Kajol is happy with her three upcoming releases, she says it is also scary sometimes. “I didn’t even realize that I have been working like a dog, which I swore never to do.”
The expectations from MNIK are sky-high. People are excited to see their favourite Bollywood couple back on celluloid. According to Kajol, My Name is Khan is not a cliché love story as the film deals with the Asperger’s Syndrome and has a socially relevant backdrop. “MNIK is just a ‘more’ film, if you know what I mean. It is not a clichéd love story per se. SRK and I are not 16. We’re not bubbly teenagers anymore. We have progressed to another level and our performances and the film has been tailor-made for that level.”
Kajol is excited about MNIK as well and hopes the audiences will like the film. “Karan, Shah Rukh and I have worked very hard to make a good film. We’ve put in our hundred per cent and we hope everyone else thinks so too.”
Shah Rukh Khan recently mentioned in an interview about the special bond Kajol and he share on the sets. Kajol agrees that their friendship is special. “SRK and I have the kind of friendship where we do look out for each other. I’m glad we have that kind of friendship. When we work together, he is concerned about my performance and I’m concerned about his. We’re on the same level and we often tell each other, ‘Listen you can add this to what you’re doing,’ and vice versa. Our takes aren’t very different from each other.”
Although she has worked with every Khan in the top brigade, she never chooses her films depending on the hero. “In fact, you will see that some of my categorical mistakes had nothing to do with the hero in it. I think I’d like to continue doing good work. I’d like to do interesting scripts. No run-of-the-mill stuff for me. I also want to do films in my time. Just the thought that I have three releases coming up this year has tired me. I need a break really bad.”
We still have two weeks to go before the movie comes out. My Name is Khan will release on the 11th of February.
