Exclusive Photo: Shahrukh Khan Jumps From 300-ft in Don 2

Shah Rukh Khan jumped from the roof of the Park Inn Hotel on the Alexanderplatz in Berlin on the second day of filming of Don 2 in the city on October 12.

In this scene, Shahrukh Khan is being chased by gangsters and his only way out is to jump from the roof.

A stuntman jumped for him to begin with, for the long shots, before Shah Rukh made the plunge himself for a close up.

Despite the cables and pulleys that made the jump safe for Shah Rukh, the experience must have been both frightening and exhilarating for the 44-year-old actor, a consummate artiste and one of Bollywood's most popular stars.

Not many of us can even dare to look down from 30-ft, let alone jump from 300-ft.

Following the jump, Shah Rukh shared the experience with his Twitter fans.

"Just did a over 300 feet base jump for Don...cos u all make me believe i can fly. Time to tell kids about the birds and the bees...ha ha.

"my jump was last shot of day. want to thank my duplicate & action team, to do it before me for wide shots & make me feel confident about it."

Shahrukh Khan Filming Don 2 in Berlin

Shah Rukh Khan rode an open top city bus in Berlin on Day 1 of the filming of Don 2 on October 10.

The keenly awaited thriller directed by Farhan Akhtar additionally stars Priyanka Chopra, Lara Dutta, Kunal Kapoor, Om Puri and Boman Irani.

The film also stars German actor Florian Lukas in an important Berlin based role. The 37-year-old star is best known for the ARD television series Weissensee.

Shah Rukh was the first to arrive on location.

"in berlin. good to see it in the day time. always been in & out during berlinale otherwise. missing home & kids." Shah Rukh tweeted on October 10.

A 50 day schedule is planned in the city. The film will be shot in "prominent places in the city," but details of the locales are not being revealed to preclude fan frenzy, such is Shah Rukh's popularity in the German capital.

Don 2 is being partly financed ($705,000) by the Berlin-Brandenburg film promotion company Medienboard.

The film is scheduled for release in theatres on December 23, 2011.

SRK starrer ‘Don 2’ gets 3 million Euros cover

SRK’s much anticipated sequel ‘Don 2’ is enjoying a maximum rebate from the German Government.

According to a close hand the rebate is whooping 3 million euros for the Badshah of Bollywood starrer, as SRK is immensely popular in Germany and Europe. Germany now wants to make Bollywood as its prime choice and wants to win over its current favorites England, Switzerland in Europe.

The unit of Don 2 is in Berlin where the major chunk of the film will be canned. Lara Dutta has joined and Priyanka Chopra is likely to join shortly followed by the Badshah himself Shahrukh Khan.

Shah Rukh: Karan’s Involvement In ‘Ra. 1′, A Lucky Charm

A few weeks back, when Karan Johar was summoned by Shah Rukh Khan for the London shoot of his most ambitious film till date, ‘Ra. 1′, the superstar took a smart step. He let the news go from him only rather than it reaching down to media through ’sources’. Tweets floated around and it was announced to the world that Shah Rukh had made a special request to Karan to direct a few scenes for ‘Ra. 1′.

On his part, Shah Rukh did pre-empt the entire turn of events and promptly announced that Karan’s arrival in London for the shooting of ‘Ra. 1′ was nothing more than just a good luck charm. In any case, Bollywood is known for its superstitions and when a film is rumoured to be carrying a price tag of 175 crores, it is but natural to have all the good luck charm to come in handy.

“This is the reason why even though many felt that (director) Anubhav (Sinha) may have been heartbroken due to someone else stepping in and calling the shots, despite for a short duration, the fact is that Karan’s visit actually turned out to be short and sweet. Eventually qualifying as a friendly gesture more than anything else, it did lead to a few reading between the words but none of it mapped to the kind of scale that would have led to any widespread controversy”, comments an observer who has been closely following the turn of events.

Since Karan has been a close friend and associate for over a decade and a half now and has contributed to some of his biggest hits like ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’, ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’ and now ‘My Name Is Khan’ with him, it was imperative that he was there alongside him when ‘Ra. 1′ is being filmed. On his part, Karan doesn’t deny the fact that he did eventually direct a brief portion of the film.

“There was nothing to hide about it though. All Shah Rukh wanted me to do was to can a couple of shots for good luck charm. It wasn’t as if he asked Anubhav to sit aside and gave me the entire control instead. It doesn’t work that way”, says Karan who rightly believes that it is hardly an incident that deserves much attention.

Well, one tends to believe that Anubhav Sinha feels so as well. With sci-fi flick ‘Robot’ already turning on the heat, there is far more emphasis which is expected to be made on ‘Ra. 1′ now. Also starring Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal, ‘Ra. 1′ is expected to release in Summer 2011.
