In order to win her back, Rizwan embarks on a long journey across the United States.Talking about the movie, in an interview SRK said, “it’s not about a disabled man’s fight against disability. It’s a disabled man’s fight against the disability that exists in the world – terrorism, hatred, fighting … My Name is Khan is also about Islam and the way the world looks at Islam but we are not taking any sides. We are only trying to say that there are only good people and bad people. There are no good Hindus, bad Hindus, good Christians, bad Christians. Either you are a good person or a bad person. Religion is not the criterion, humanity is.”
