Mumbai, June 14, 2009: Has Akshay Kumar a new competitor in Shah Rukh Khan (SRK). SRK is set to do dangerous stunts in Don 2, his forthcoming film.
So far stunts seemed to have been reserved for Akshay Kumar the daredevil actor from India's Hindi film industry called Bollywood. Stunts or daring actions in Indian films are mostly the handiwork of Akshay Kumar.

Shah Rukh Khan's first Don film, Don - The Chase Begins Again, directed by Farhan Akhtar, was a remake of the blockbuster 1978 film, Don. The film was released in India on October 20, 2006 and it was also simultaneously released internationally.
It received a very good response worldwide, and collected over Rs. 30 crores in India in its first week itself. The script of the previous film was written by Akhtar's father, Javed Akhtar and Salim Khan.
The film stars Shahrukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Arjun Rampal, Ishaa Koppikar and Kareena Kapoor in a guest appearance. Eighty percent of the movie was shot in Malaysia, and was filmed around the tropical Langkawi island as well as the Petronas Twin Towers and the Jalan Masjid India area, which is the 'little India' of Kuala Lumpur.
Akshay Kumar was offered for the role of Jasjit but he rejected saying he might have accepted if he was offered the part of Don. Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra underwent special martial arts training for their roles in the movie.
The film was selected to be screened at the Berlin Film Festival. Critical reaction was mixed, with most reviews tilted towards the positive. It was a huge commercial success though.
