SRK seems to be taking a leaf out of Aamir Khan's book. After Aamir successfully wooed critics and audiences alike with 'Taare Zameen Par' which was about dyslexia, King Khan seems to trying to evoke pathos and sympathy among the audiences too.

The reports are that in good friend Karan Johar's next film 'My Name Is Khan', Shahrukh Khan will play a character who suffers from an Autistic disorder.

Contrary to some apprehensions, the movie is not a biopic of SRK, but it's a movie about Asperger's Syndrome which is characterized by physical clumsiness and lack of proper communication skills in people who suffer from it.

Shibani Bhatija who has written films like 'Fanaa' and 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna' has written the script. The buzz is that Shibani has done her homework well, conducted thorough research and interviewed many people suffering from the disease.

In fact both Karan Johar and Shibani have worked diligently and are trying to depict the condition of Asperger's patients who are fighting hard to be a part of the society correctly. K Jo wants to convey a social message through his film and let it work as an eye opener.

Well, his intensions are noble. We sure hope he succeeds and doesn't end up making a mockery of a grave issue! Unlike what he did with extra marital affairs in 'Kabhie Alvida Naa Kehan'!
