SRK ditches Dubai for Patna to promote Don 2

'Bad' Shah of Bollywood cancels Dubai premiere of 'Don 2', chooses to promote the movie in India


Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Farhan Akhtar will not keep their date with Dubai for the 'Don 2' premiere this coming Thursday, Emirates 24|7 has learnt.

Even though Dubai rolled out the red carpet for one of the most sought-after Bollywood stars, Shah Rukh Khan, and his 'Don 2' team in the Dubai International Film Festival just a couple of weeks ago, the 'Bad' Shah of Bollywood, as Shah Rukh Khan has come to be known in the industry for his narcissism, has chosen to promote the movie among the audience of the Hindi belt states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh instead of the international audience.

King Khan disappointed Dubai despite the crew eager to visit the emirate for the promotion. Sources from the crew told Emirates 24|7, "Don 2 team wanted to travel to Dubai for the premiere on Thursday. But they rescheduled it with a Patna visit."

So, SRK canned his Dubai 'Don 2' premiere and the cast has to stay back in India and promote the movie at home. "Not that they don't want to visit Dubai – it's just that they had recently been to Dubai and so felt that they cannot disappoint their Patna fans," the crew member added as an afterthought. Sure.

Nevertheless, earlier, it was fans in the eastern Indian city of Patna that were disappointed when SRK cancelled his plan to visit the city. Shah Rukh also reached out to his fans through Twitter: "Was super excited with my first ever visit to Patna, but district authorities said some security issue...Will come some other time. Damn!!!"

Now, however, Patna fans have a reason to feel happy. Shah Rukh kept his word and chose Patna over Dubai. He will visit the city on Thursday for the promotional event.

The team is currently touring New Delhi. SRK's 'Don 2' 10-city promotional tour of India ends in Patna.

The 'Don 2' team started their multi-city promotion tour in non-metropolitan centers in India on Tuesday and visited cities like Nagpur, Ahmedabad and Jaipur.

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...
