My Name Is Khan:K JO looking for Obama

MNIK: SRK and Obama in one frame

Karan Johar scouts the streets of America for a man who looks like the US President...for Obama
Shah Rukh Khan and President Barack Obama will soon be sharing Screen time in a Bollywood film. But, there’s a catch. Karan Johar, who is currently filming My Name Is Khan in San Francisco, Sacramento and Novato is scouting around for an Obama lookalike for the film.

A casting agency called Beau Bonneau Casting was recently hired by K JO to make a casting call for the following: “Scenes filmed over these two days will feature the title character Khan and President Obama (look-a-like).

Open to all ethnicities with an emphasis on African American men.” The printed brief further specifies that, ‘the supporters of Khan, who is a spokesper Shah Rukh Khan and President Barack Obama will soon be sharing screentime in a son for peace and tolerance, will have “a more American feel” in these scenes.

The agency is seeking extras of all ethnic backgrounds to film a scene where people of multi ethnicity come together to support Khan.

So, those of you who were worried about the movie being an SRK biopic can relax. ‘Mr Khan’ seems more like an international peace messiah who even manages to rope in Barack Obama for his cause.

SRK and Obama (albeit a lookalike) in one frame — sounds like full paisa wasool.
