Bollywood's king Shahrukh Khan let slip a couple of interesting titbits today from his twitter account, the juice involves his upcoming big budget films Ra.1 and the sequel to Don.
According to Shahrukh, 'Don 2' begins filming in September or early October. As we reported earlier, Farhan Akhtar's sequel to 'Don' promises to be four times as big and a dozen times as slick as the original film. The director, along with his buddy and producing partner Ritesh Sidhwani recently returned from an exhausting trip to Europe; the duo were scouting locations to shoot Don 2 which expands upon the storyline set in the first film.
Don 2 will have a humongous budget and will feature some big chase scenes never before seen in Indian cinema. Farhan and Ritesh have decided to take the production design a couple of notches higher. "We selected a few places in London and then went to Ireland. Dublin is certainly on the cards. The locations are breath taking. After that we flew to Germany. We went to Frankfurt and Berlin. Our scouting certainly proved fruitful and we have decided on the places that we will be shooting", said Ritesh Sidhwani.
Farhan and Ritesh intend to take the Don franchise the way of the Bourne Trilogy. Like 'The Bourne Supremacy', Don 2 will tighten up the plot, action, pace and locales. What's more, if Don 2 does well financially, Farhan and Ritesh have promised to dole out Don 3.
Shahrukh also tweeted regarding his superhero film 'Ra.One'. As per his tweet, 'ra.one is short form for random access version one. reads like it is written. RAONE. its a movie about gaming and superheroes and bad guys.' SRK also dismissed rumours regarding Aishwarya Rai being a part of the film. 'no aish is not in the film. the final cast will be announced soon ...waiting for just some last bit of casting. yes it does read as in ravan' he tweeted.
Both 'Don 2' and 'Ra.One' are expected to release on 2011. SRK's only release for 2010 is Karan Johar's 'My Name is Khan' (not counting his cameo in Dulha Mil Gaya).
