Karan Johar Differs!

Karan insists says that both the films are sufficiently different. He says the backdrop of terrorism is the only thing common to both films. “My Name Is Khan” is not about terrorism, or 9/11. It’s about the relationship between two people, between an individual and the State, and between an individual and the country. In short, there the three important components — a love story, Islam and a mild form of autism.

Kurbaan on other hand is a story about a Hindu and a Muslim girl and then the betrayal where terrorism also forms the part of the whole story.
