This move was released in 2010. The main character of this movie is Rizwan, a man with Asperger's syndrome, who marries Mandira. When unfortunate events unfold after the twin tower attacks, he embarks on a journey to change people's perception of his community.
After the 9/11 incident, people were highly skeptical about his community. And so Rijwan, his wife and his son all had to face prejudice. They even lost their son in this. The situation had become that much worse that taking their full names in public would draw unnecessary suspicion from the mob. The people of his community were seen as a terrorist though we know that terrorism has no religion. So Rijwan decides to tell the then President, Mr. G. W. Bush that "My name is khan and I am not a terrorist" in order to give a message to the public to change their views about the people of his community. That not everyone belonging to that community is a terrorist. and later in the movie because of his benevolent acts the elected president Mr. Barak Obama by himself say this that"your name is khan and you are not a terrorist".
