Shah Rukh Khan is back in Malaysia to shoot the 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, SRK arrived in Kuala Lumpur
with co-star Priyanka Chopra.
"The `king' of Bollywood is in
Malaysia to film the sequel to his 2006 blockbuster hit 'Don'," The
Star newspaper announced today (Feb 14).
SRK 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 60-member crew accompanied SRK to Malacca.
Shah Rukh's 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 have SRK playing the title role, 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 SRK, with
shooting to be done at Sungai Udang.
SRK's close friend, Lorna
Enan Muloon, said the 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.
SRK will be in Malaysia for about a month.
