Global ambition was apparent when Fox Star Studios acquired My Name is Khan for a record sum, rumoured to be as high as Rs 85 crore. The question being asked now is: How much of that is coming back?
In terms of global visibility, MNIK is on an unprecedented high. With the backing of the powerful Hollywood studio, it is Bollywood’s biggest splash overseas, with 465 prints released in 42 countries. Another 30 prints reached Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman earlier this week, 50 prints will find their way into Poland in April and another 50 will get to German screens on May 5.
