King Khan Shah Rukh starrer Don has been selected to be screened at the Berlin Film Festival under the "International Forum" section.

The festival is scheduled to be held in the month of February 2007.

Don, produced by Ritesh Sidhwani under the banner of Excel Entertainment and directed by Farhan Akhtar, was compared to the 1978 Don starring Amitabh Bachchan, however was appreciated by most audiences for the powerful performances.

While the film attained excellent business at the UK box office, the release of the film was held back at Germany so that it can directly be screened at the Berlin Film Festival. Let us wait and watch what kind of response the film garners at Germany.

Films which deserve special attention due to current events can also be shown as part of the Berlinale Special. Furthermore the programme presents films in honour of those who receive a Berlinale Camera, films by or about outstanding persons of film whom the festival feels especially attached to.

Om Shanti Om is among 11 films selected this year. Directed by Farha Khan and produced by Gauri Khan, Om Shanti Om stars superstar Shah Rukh Khan, glamorous Deepika Padukone, debonair Arjun Rampal and talented Shreyas Talpade.
