Shah Rukh Khan in Malaysia to
film ‘Don’ sequel ::
Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan
is back in Malaysia to shoot a
sequel to his blockbuster ‘Don’ –
this time on a larger scale and
with a local baddie to combat.
Immensely popular and
honoured with the traditional
Malaysian title Datuk, akin to
knighthood, Khan arrived here
Sunday morning along with co-
star Priyanka Chopra.
“The `king’ of Bollywood is in
Malaysia to film the sequel to his
2006 blockbuster hit ‘Don’,” The
Star announced Monday.
He flew in from Mumbai after a
gruelling 58 hours of working on
a set.
“Datuk Shah Rukh Khan lived up
to his tough guy image by
proceeding to Malacca state to
continue filming,” the newspaper
said.
Besides Priyanka, a former Miss
World, a 60-member crew
accompanied Khan to Malacca.
“The Indian icon looked relaxed
and up to the task of filming
`Don 2?, a highly-anticipated
action thriller.”
His arrival created a stir at the
airport as passengers rushed to
catch a glimpse of the actors.
“Despite their hectic schedule,
the duo did not disappoint when
their fans asked to take
photographs.”
“Don 2? will continue to portray
Khan as Don, an undercover
police officer masquerading as
the leader of an international
gang of drug smugglers.
Priyanka will play his love
interest, Roma.
The sequel will promote Malaysia,
just as the initial blockbuster did.
Local sensation Ady Putra, known
for his bad boy roles in hit Malay
movies like “Anak Halal” and
“Histeria”, will also star alongside
Khan, with shooting to be done
at Sungai Udang.
Khan’s close friend of 16 years,
Lorna Enan Muloon, said the
Indian actor had set the trend for
Bollywood to have Malaysia,
especially Malacca, as a preferred
location for filming.
“The state has a special place in
his heart,” she said.
“Don 2? will also be filmed in
Kuala Lumpur, the national
capital and Langkawi, a popular
island resort.
Khan will be in the country for
about a month.
