The title track "Zara Dil Ko Tham Lo" of "Don 2" required Shah Rukh Khan to perform some magic tricks. These tricks were to be done with a Zippo (tricks performed with a lighter, the flame of which keeps appearing and disappearing) and cards.
For this, one of India's first street magicians, Ugesh Sarkar was called in from Bangalore to teach the Badshah some tricks at his home before he was to shoot. Ugesh was also supposed to be doing some of the tricks in the song. However, Shah Rukh was very quick in mastering the art and to everyone's surprise, he eventually did all the tricks independently without much help from Ugesh.
While the shoot was on, Ugesh was on the sets throughout watching the star perform with the Zippo effortlessly. Says Ritesh Sidhwani, producer of "Don 2", "I was surprised to see Shah Rukh do some of the tricks himself. I had thought that we would need Ugesh to do some of those shots. So now you can also call him Shah Rukh the magician!"
Look out for what Don has up his sleeves this time around. The movie will be releasing on December 23.
