Don 2
Short description
Don 2 is an action thriller about a crime lord who has already established control over Asia's underworld and now sets his sights on Europe, with Berlin as his first target. Don assembles a crew drawn from both old associates and former rivals for an ambitious operation, while Interpol and European crime bosses close in on him. Among those pursuing him is the agent Roma, who has unfinished business with him.
The film is a sequel to Don, and the third feature directed by Farhan Akhtar. Shah Rukh Khan plays Don and also produced alongside Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani; Farhan Akhtar wrote the screenplay. Priyanka Chopra Jonas plays Roma, with Boman Irani, Kunal Kapoor, Lara Dutta and Om Puri in supporting roles. It was made as a German-Indian co-production with a budget of 11 million dollars.
Released in December 2011 and running 139 minutes, the film holds a 7.1 rating on IMDb from around 62,000 votes and a 7 on TMDB from a much smaller number of votes. Its worldwide box office of 3 million dollars fell well short of its production budget, making it a commercial disappointment despite the generally positive audience scores.
What's left behind the scenes
- Actor Hrithik Roshan, who played a cameo role in the film, also starred with Priyanka Chopra in two parts of one film called 'Krrish' and 'Krrish 3'.
- For his role in the film, Boman Irani lost 12 kg and grew a beard.
- Priyanka Chopra Jonas refused the services of a stunt double in the car chase scene and performed a significant portion of the corresponding stunts herself. She trained in martial arts for two months before filming began.
- Shah Rukh Khan performed all the stunts himself.
- Indian model and actress Katrina Kaif always wanted to participate in the post-production process of any project, and director, screenwriter, and producer Farhan Akhtar allowed her to edit a small segment of the film.
- Actor Kunal Kapoor had to decline a role in the film 'Tezz' due to a scheduling conflict.
- 67 cars, specially brought from Korea, were used in the car chase scene. Several central streets in Berlin (particularly near the Brandenburg Gate) were closed to traffic for three weeks for filming. Alternative routes and detours had to be found and provided for vehicular traffic each day.
- In February 2011, the film crew flew to Malaysia, where several prison scenes were planned to be shot. An entire section of the penitentiary was allocated for filming. To avoid confusion, special t-shirts were made and distributed to all members of the crew.
- Filming of the movie began in October 2010 in Berlin.
