Malaysia Truly Asia´s Langkawi & Genting Miss SRK´s ´Don 2´

'Don: The Chase Begins Again', directed by Farhan Akhtar and starring Shah Rukh Khan was extensively shot in Malaysia, popularly known as Truly Asia!

In fact, eighty percent of the movie was shot in Malaysia, and was filmed around the tropical Langkawi island as well as the Petronas Twin Towers and the Jalan Masjid India area, which is the 'little India' of Kuala Lumpur. Not only that the well known Genting Highlands too featured in the proceeding.

It was expected that the sequel to the film, 'Don 2' would also feature the South East Asian country. But as things stand today, 'Don 2' is being extensively shot in Berlin and from there it will move to other locales of Europe.

The people of Malaysia, who also conferred an honorary doctorate on King Khan in 2008 (and he became Datuk Shahrukh Khan), are hoping that the unit comes to Malaysia once again, may be just for a few shots.

Well, are Farhan and Shah Rukh Khan listening?

Shahrukh the first James Bond of India

Action is the mantra for Shahrukh Khan, this season. The Bollywood actor seems to be in love with the genre at present. Though the audience is more used to watching the King Khan in romantic roles, SRK is all set to set screens on fire with action in his upcoming releases Don 2 and Ra.One. One look at the actor’s newly acquired lean structure is enough to confirm the fact that he has been sweating it out to become the first James Bond of India.

First of the two action films featuring Shahrukh Khan in the lead is Farhan Akhtar’s Don 2. While the director had already improved on the older version of Don, he plans to make the sequel even more stylish and action-packed. And it is for this reason that Farhan Akhtar is taking a leaf out of the books of Hollywood action hero James Bond. The crew of the film is presently shooting in the German capital Berlin and it has been reported that while a body double will be used for the extreme sequences, SRK himself will perform some of the stunts shown in the film. In fact the actor has also had an accident while performing the acts in Berlin.

Following the Don 2 act is Ra.One, for which Shahrukh Khan will have to perform more stunts considering that he will play a superhero in the movie. Ra.One is being touted as one of the most ambitious projects undertaken by the actor in his flourishing career. Action or no action, we love Shahrukh and will be waiting for his films to hit theaters.

SRK’s special Diwali offer in 2011

A King is always the King and rightly so the ruler sets standards and the pupils follow. Bollywood Badshaah Shahrukh Khan is gung ho to see that his dream project ‘Ra.One’ leaves no stone unturned in Bollywood super hero sci-fi genre.

With ‘Robot’ setting new standards in Bollywood sci-fi, SRK wants his ‘Ra.One’ to surpass all expectations.

The movie which was supposed to be released by mid of 2011 has been sifted till Diwali because the SFX won’t be complete by then.

Shahrukh wants to ensure the best effects for his fans and is ready to go to any length to achieve his goal.

According to close hands, ‘Ra One’ will have the best effects which money can buy.

So all of you fans can wait till Diwali and can ignore the hassle of buying crackers next year because the Badshaah is all set to blast his way into your Diwali plans to make it more and more enjoyable.

Shahrukh Khan: Special Agent or spy in Don 2?

Shahrukh Khan the star who is well known as Baadshah or King of Bollywood is certainly akin to doing a role certifying to that designation after all, he did portray the role of a spy in the movie Baadshah which was quite well appreciated by the audiences. So what is he going to be in the forth coming film Don 2 ,a special agent or spy?

However after playing a gang leader in the Farhan Akhtar film Don, this star is reportedly going to play a totally different character in the sequel Don 2.

Coming to think of it, the title suggests Don 2 and his character is touted to be quite different from Don and it is going to be a positive character, so the question that comes to mind is that is SRK going to play the role of a special Agent or a special spy in Don 2?

That would also mean that SRK was going to be an agent working for a reputed institution like the government. This could also mean that he could be working to give service to society and mankind as he works as a secret agent- whoosh! All this only seemingly adds up to the fact that Shahrukh Khan just might be stepping into the shoes of a 007 James Bond like character!

Wow! If this is true then Shahrukh’s fans are going to have a great time watching their favorite star cracking on the hideouts of scrupulous people and getting them to the law enforcement team.

Besides all this the movie is going to be a sleek, stylish and highly sophisticated amalgamation of action comedy and wit. So wait all you SRK fans your favorite star is about to surprise you in the coming year!

Shahrukh Khan: The camera smash up in Berlin!

Now, film stars and the camera are like bread and butter, one just can’t’ do without the other, so to speak.

However, there are times when the camera does get to jam up or be broken up completely, for whatever reason, but when it comes to SRK, he is one star, who would never do a thing like destroying the camera, come what may! But, when it comes to authentic film shoots, it is indeed SRK,who simply takes the cake, which he proved recently, while in Berlin, shooting for Farhan Akhtar’s film, ‘Don2’.Sadly, Shahrukh Khan, recently smashed into a camera, completely breaking it into pieces!

Reports are abuzz that while shooting for’Don2’,Shahrukh was in a car,on the driver’s seat, with Priyanka’s body double beside him, as it was a full on action sequence. Now, as SRK, drove past into the area, he somehow lost control, and reports are that he rammed into the camera, completely shattering it to pieces.

This scared the daylights, out of the entire team! However, as SRK got down from the smashed car, he apologized profusely, and also offered to pay for the damaged equipment, which kind of eased things a bit there.

Then, as the director, gave the crew a brief break to come back to normal, there seemed to be a sigh of relief from one and all, that no one was injured, and the fact that even SRK and Piggy chop’s body double were not much hurt, was also considered a big blessing, otherwise, the entire cast and crew would have to waste days in a foreign land, without any work to do.

Shahrukh thanks Lara Dutta

Bollywood Baadshah Shahrukh Khan displayed his feeling of concern to the B-town lovely Lara Dutta and the lass was extremely delighted.

Everybody knows that SRK never forgets those who give their helping hand and is famous for his repays which comes with extra care and affection. Lara experienced it recently when she came to know that it was on SRK’s recommendation that she got casted in ‘Don 2’.

SRK had tough time during the casting of ‘Billu’ where all the B-town lovelies refused King Khan at point blank for the role which Lara agreed. Now in ‘Don 2’ Lara will be essaying the role which Eesha Koppikar did in the first installment.

SRK may not be in good terms with his jigris (read close pals) Farah, Ritesh but the Baadshah has not turned sour with this….. SRK remains the same loving caring helping Khan who never forgets and ignores those helping hands.

Shah Rukh Khan, who is filming his latest action movie Don 2 in Berlin, predicted Friday that the film's success would encourage millions of Indians to visit the German capital.

"You will have problems getting rid of all the Indians again," Khan joked at a press conference.

"We are proud that we have discovered Berlin for Indians," the Bollywood star said, adding the city could supplant Paris and London as favourite European destinations.

The action thriller, which also showcases Indian stars Priyanka Chopra and Boman Irani, features famous Berlin landmarks - including a scene in which Khan appears to dive 125 metres from a building near Berlin's TV tower.

Bollywood fans descend on Berlin for Shahrukh, Priyanka shoot

Priyanka Chopra says she would love to walk around the streets of Berlin she finds so full of amazing energy. Film director and actor Farhan Akhtar said he is crazy about the architecture of the city.

They made these points at a press conference held Friday where Shah Rukh repeated 'achtung' (careful) and 'danke' (thanks) and said that Berlin was chosen as location for "Don 2" because the film demanded a more realistic backdrop, unlike some of his other films shot in more fairy tale like environments of countries like Switzerland.

The making of "Don 2" opens a new chapter in the ongoing love affair between Bollywood and Berlin. "Don 2" is being made with financial support from the Medienboard Berlin Brandenburg. The Indo-German production is being shot in the German capital and hundreds of Bollywood fans from around Europe have descended on the city.

The entire crew and cast of "Don 2" are in the German capital to film for about 50 days at a cost of more than six million euros.

The stars began shooting two weeks ago at several famous landmarks in the city like the great Cathedral, and the car chase took the crew through the streets around Checkpoint Charley.

Shah Rukh's character in "Don 2" is of a bad man who is very lovable.

German actor Florian Lukas is relieved that he does not have to dance in the film but is very proud to be acting in an Indian film and excited about his role in "Don 2".

More and more Indian films have been screened at European film festivals in recent times, particularly at the Berlinale, the most popular of all the film festivals held around the world. Dorothee Wenner, Berlinale's curator for Asian and African cinema, is delighted that Berlin promises not just to be a locale in "Don 2" but is treated as a character.

Wenner is responsible for first inviting Shah Rukh Khan to the Berlinale in 2007 when "Om Shanti Om" was screened here. "My Name is Khan" was showcased at the Berlinale 2010.

More Shah Rukh Khan fans are expected in the city Nov 2 when the actor celebrates his birthday in the German capital.

My Name is Wong Khan: SRK

Shahrukh Khan has been shooting for 'Don 2' in Berlin for many days now.

Recently, he uploaded a picture online showing how tall is the building from where he has to jump for one of the sequences in the film. "Had done the base jump from this building...eh the tall one on the left...now feeling scared," was his tagline a few days ago.

What's next, Khan has changed his name, thanks to Piggy Chops, who made him gorge on Japanese cuisine, " priyanka introduced me to sushi. got to see so many varieties of cold fish on a cold nite. feeling japanese. my new name now is wong khan," Khan wrote online. Wonder what his next film's title would be!

'Frosty atmosphere' on set of 'Don 2'

The atmosphere between Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra is reportedly “frosty” on the set of Don 2 in Berlin.

Chopra is reprising her role as leading lady opposite Shah Rukh Khan, while Dutta is to portray Anita, originally played by Eesha Kophika in Don.

NDTV qoutes a source as saying: "The two barely exchanged hellos with frosty smiles before directing their warmth to Shahrukh and director Farhan Akhtar."

The Bollywood actresses were crowned Miss Universe and Miss World respectively in 2002 and starred together in the 2003 hit Andaaz.

A friend of Chopra’s expressed concern for the effect the atmosphere would have on her after criticism of her latest role in Anjaana Anjaani.

"She left in a depressed frame of mind. The last thing she needs in Berlin is a stressful ambiance," they said.

Priyanka Chopra, Lara Dutta: Shahrukh Khan Caught In The Jittery Road For ‘Don 2’

Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutta have finally met in Berlin, and how! Recently, Priyanka Chopra, the hot sexy gal of B town, touched Berlin and landed bang on to the sets of Ritesh Sidhwani’s ‘Don 2’,directed by Farhan Akhtar, where the rest of the cast and crew had already assembled much before.

Reportedly, the two hotties, Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutta hardly could be called friends at the moment, as the fact is that as Priyanka walked in to the sets of the film, both of them just barely managed to exchange a thin line, that could be given an award for the frostiest smiles ever, and then Priyanka moved on to gel with the other members of the cast and crew, and greeted Shahrukh Khan with the friendliest warmest greeting!

Well, so to speak, Lara had reached Berlin, where the shoot is taking place a week before and thus she seemed quite comfortable with the members of the film unit, however, Priyanka, who had to stay back in Mumbai due to an ad shoot, was a tad bit late in joining them.

However, since Lara and Priyanka have met after a gap of almost eight years(they had worked in ‘Andaaz’ together in 2002,being a debut film for both of them),both were slightly awkward in their stance, but hope fully they do start gelling well as time passes.

But, the question is, how on earth will Shahrukh manage the cold vibes between both his leading actresses? Gossip columns are rife with SRK being caught on the jittery road for ‘Don 2’, thanks to the two leading ladies!

But, let’s hope SRK manages to create some sort of warmth with his cool dude attitude, and thus create an atmosphere of a happy ambience on the sets of ‘Don 2’,otherwise it will be difficult to decide which is more biting, the cold winds in Berlin, or the cold vibes flying between Priyanka and Lara?

Revealed Shahrukh Khan’s dashing look in 'Don 2'

Shahrukh Khan is away in Berlin, Germany, to shoot for director Farhan Akhtar’s film Don 2. The movie is the sequel of Farhan’s earlier film Don which was the remake of the 1978 Amitabh Bachchan starrer of the same title.

The sequel retains its original cast of Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani, and includes some new names like Lara Dutta, Sameera Reddy and Kunal Kapoor.

We bring you SRK’s dashing look in the film.
