There have been numerous
stories about why Shahrukh Khan did ‘Don - The Chase begins
again’. Well, let’s hear it from the horse’s mouth.
“Don was the most modern
film of our time. I still remember the bow-tie, dotted shirt
and the dialogues. It reminds me of my fondest memories from
childhood and how I always dreamt of playing a part like
Don, have a gun in my hand and girls on my side, and
therefore, to be Don was to re-live the whole of my
childhood.
I obviously can’t question
the greatness of old Don but what I have tried achieving is
to make this Don a little more relevant in today’s world.
The world has become harsher and a lot grittier and thus the
movie and the character are a lot more mean, cold and foxy.
This means when you hit people - they stay hit, you knife
people - they die, you take out a gun and it means business.
What actually was most
exciting for me is that Don offered me to do some coarse
action, that’s something my son likes and also gave me a
chance to prove to myself that I’m still as good as I as a
few years back.” |
