Shah Rukh however revealed the filmmaker was not keen on making a sequel to Don 2. "We were not sure. Farhan was like how many Dons will I continue making! But we were not keen on making Don 2 too!

The film is injected with the infectious chemistry of Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Ch

When he is not shooting for a film, receiving an international honour, he is seen promoting his film across the globe and then promoting the brands that help him promote his films.

The King is Back: Shahrukh Khan & Priyanka Chopra Sizzle in Don 2 (Movie Review)

What do you get when you add "King of Bollywood" Shahrukh Khan, witty writing, stylized action and a power-packed two and a half hours of entertainment? Farhan Akhtar's "Don 2″. For every ten Bollywood movies that make you want to roll your eyes in despair, you can rest easy knowing that the latest installment in the Don franchise will remind you of why you love Hindi cinema. The sequel kicks off five years from where the previous film ended, with Don successfully deceiving the police, the mob, and audiences around the world. This time, the villainous hero sets his sights on the European cartel and billionaire status by way of European currency plate theft. Taking us across Thailand, Switzerland, and Germany, and with Don's " jungli billi" Roma (Priyanka Chopra) hot on his trail, what ensues is essentially one sexy game of cat and mouse. This Don is bigger and better, not to mention sleeker and fiercer. Not only have the characters

ENT-SRK 2 LAST

SRK who is on his maiden visit to the city in his 20 year film career, said his move 'Asoka' was shot in Bihar "to some extent". "At that time I had contacted people in the government here several times but personally I am here for the first time," he said. Overwhelmed by the response of fans, Shah Rukh said, "I did not know at all that people of Bihar love me so much and I would get such a huge response here... I now feel that I should move across the country and world to know how much love and affection I enjoy from the public." He wanted fans to recognise his love for work and urged them to return their love "in the same fashion" by watching 'Don 2'. He regretted that he could not reach here earlier on December 13 "but I am at present overwhelmed by the people's reponse and love." The actor said that promotion of films was required as people who buy tickets at higher rates should get value for their money. S

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 wi

Don to visit city today

PATNA: The Don will be here, finally. And a strong posse of police is ready to protect him. Keeping his word,   Shahrukh Khan   is arriving here on Thursday for a few hours to promote his film   Don 2 , which will hit the cinema halls across the country on Friday.   The organizers this time have taken no risk and sought formal permission from the administration. On December 13, when SRK planned his maiden visit to Patna, it could not materialize due to some 'controversies' and 'misunderstanding' between the organizers and the administration. The cancellation of the visit led to some violence as the public, gathered to see the superstar, went berserk and indulged in stone pelting.   King Khan was sorry over the series of events and said sorry to his fans through Twitter and TV interviews and promised to come before the film's release. The SRK will be accompanied by director   Farhan Akhtar . Source: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/patna/Don-to-visit

Shahrukh Khan Says Don’s Inherent Evilness is Enticing

He began his career playing negative, angst-ridden characters but, 20 years into his career, Shahrukh Khan says it's the "irredeemable" quality of playing a character like Don that excites him today. In an exclusive conversation with Divanee.com, Khan discussed how Don is a significant departure from the villainous characters that made him famous in films such as "Darr" and "Baazigar". He also offered his take on what makes Don the first Hindi film villain the audience truly roots for: "Earlier I did more psychopathic, sociopath roles. With Don, you're not supposed to like him, but you do. As an actor, it's so enticing, and I think it's that enticement which I wanted to play into. There's an ideology with Don that he's always in full control of his actions, and therefore there's a lot of distance in the way I play Don vs. the way I played 'I Love You K-K-K-Kiran' (referring to his trademark negative turn in Yash C

It helped him endure long settings of fights together," he says. Adds Farhan Akhtar, the dire

Shah Rukh Khan in Malaysian jail

Here's how he and the cast avoided being hypnotised by prisoners during the shoot With long tresses, an overgrown stubble and a rugged yet cool demanour, Shah Rukh Khan looks every inch a don. The flaming orange overalls add to the mood, as he packs punches with prison inmates in a fearless, muddy look. And this is no ordinary prison; the scene Don 2 - The Chase was shot in a real prison in Malaysia ! Director Farhan Akhtar is still reeling from the "strange and eerie silence" of the jail. The highly anticipated film is the first one to be shot in Malacca prison, and a complete section of the prison block was made available for the shoot. About 700 prisoners were air-lifted and moved to another cell to accommodate the filming. And the Don's junglee billi Roma - aka Priyanka Chopra in a cop's role - was anxious to "break the rules". One theory doing the rounds was that the prisoners could hypnotise people, hence the crew was to
