Bollywood Boman Irani loses 12 kg for Don 2

Actor Boman Irani, 51, is expanding his graph with the much-anticipated sequel to Shah Rukh Khan starrer Don. "Don has become quite a canvas. It's (Don 2) a marvellously mounted, huge film," says Irani, who reprises his role as the antagonist Vardhaan in the Part II.

"We never thought of Don 2 while we made Don. I hope Don 3 is also made … in fact there should be a Don 3. It's such an adventure making this kind of film," says the actor, who feels playing a baddie is "a big stretch" for him.

The sequel to the 2006 thriller, Don - The Chase Begins, which was a modern day adaptation of the  Amitabh Bachchan starrer Don (1978), the film will see Irani's character get a twist.

"Vardhaan is cold, cunning and deceitful. We wanted him to look more evil and menacing now. So I grew a beard for that one," he says, before revealing he also had to lose weight for the flick.

"I lost about 12 kgs for the role. I lost about 8-9 kgs for Don 1, too. For me, it's difficult losing even 10gms. It's a task for a person like me, who dreams about food even when he is awake," says the actor, who also promises a "lot of action" in the movie. After Don 2, it's Munnabhai 3 on his mind. "Things are on the cards. Let's see how it goes but things will happen."

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
