| This week sees the release of undoubtedly one of the biggest and most awaited project of 2010, the film that brings back after almost 8 years the iconic SRK-Kajol pair in a film directed by none other than Karan Johar- `My Name Is Khan`. The minor Shiv Sena hiccups not withstanding, the film is expected to embark on a historic start, not just in India but even in the Overseas, where it is likely to set new records. |
