'My Name is Khan' is nailed as one among the biggest Bollywood releases with Shah Rukh and Kajol playing opposite each other after a long time and is directed by Johar under his home production company Dharma Productions.
According to industry watchers, Dharma Productions and Fox Star - the film marketing, distribution and production arm of Rupert Murdoch's Fox and Star TV Network -- have been in talks for a 50:50 co-production deal for Bollywood films. The distribution of 'My Name is Khan' could be the starting point of their relationship.
