Priyanka Chopra discusses her Action-Packed Role in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Don

Global icon Priyanka Chopra recently made waves at the Red Sea Film Festival, where she reflected on her career and her experiences in action films, particularly during her time working on Don alongside Shah Rukh Khan. In an engaging conversation, Priyanka revealed that she "tasted blood a little bit" while performing in the Farhan Akhtar-directed film.

“I took Tai Chi classes and worked diligently to master it because I wanted to get it right,” Priyanka shared. “By the time I joined Don, I realized that my primary focus should be on my craft—not on my relationships with the director or co-actors, but on what happens between 'action' and 'cut.'”

Priyanka emphasized the effort she put into preparing for the action sequences, stating, "A lot of training went into the action sequences in Don, and I tasted blood a little bit. I look really good with a weapon in my hand defending my country; what can I say?”

In Don, Priyanka portrayed the character Roma, a role originally played by Amitabh Bachchan in the classic film written by Salim-Javed. The 2006 remake featured Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role, directed by Farhan Akhtar.

Recently, Akhtar announced Don 3, which will see Ranveer Singh stepping into the titular role, with Kiara Advani also cast in a significant part. The anticipation for this new installment continues to grow among fans of the franchise.
