Theme of the Movie:
The film begins with the child, Rizwan Khan (Tanay Chheda), a Muslim who has Asperger syndrome, growing up with his mother (Zarina Wahab) in the Borivali section of Mumbai.Later as an adult (Shahrukh Khan), Rizwan moves to San Francisco and lives with his brother and sister-in-law. While there, he falls in love with Mandira (Kajol).
After 9/11, Rizwan and Mandira begin to face a number of difficulties which causes them to separate. Rizwan then begins a long journey across the United States to win Mandira back.In the process of his journey, he "inspires optimism and joy in the hearts of the people he encounters by spreading of messages of goodwill wherever he roams."
Casting:
Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol were cast in the lead roles, reuniting them after many years. Kareena Kapoor was also considered for Kajol's role, but Kajol was Johar's first choice. The film faced a temporary setback during late December when actor Aamir Bashir was denied a visa to the United States.He was eventually replaced by Jimmy Shergill as Shahrukh Khan's younger brother.Shabana Azmi was originally cast as Shah Rukh Khan's mother, she left the production after Shahrukh Khan's shoulder injury delayed the filming schedule.She was replaced in the role by Zarina Wahab. Tanay Chheda will portray Shah Rukh Khan's character as a child living in the Borivali section of Mumbai. Chheda was chosen because he resembles Shah Rukh Khan and because he is recognizable to an international audience after portraying "middle Jamal" in Slumdog Millionaire.American actor Christopher B. Duncan was chosen to portray President Barack Obama. Duncan is known for his interpretation of Obama on the The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Johar also asked Khan to co-produce the film, as "we were both passionate about the subject, we said why not co-produce the film? We’ve known each other so long [...] that this new initiative is just an extension of our emotions. Besides, I can never make a film without Shah Rukh. He is a big part of me and my family. He’s like the older brother I never had. I love SRK as a unit — that includes his wife, children, sister and his in-laws."
