That incident came shortly after Fox Star Studios struck a deal to finance and
distribute the film “My Name is Khan”, starring Khan as an Indian
Muslim setting out on a journey across the United States.
The film featured the contentious subject of racial profiling after the
September 11, 2001 attacks.
Reacting to the latest incident, India’s Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna said he
had asked India’s ambassador to Washington to take up the issue with the US
authorities.
Khan is a heart-throb in India having acted in nearly 80 films, including huge
boxoffice hits such as “Ra. One” and “Om Shanti Om”.
A foreign ministry official in New Delhi said the “repeated”
targeting of Khan had to be more than coincidental.
“A mechanical apology is not adequate,” said the official, who
declined to be named.
