Don 2 to take off mid year
While Farhan Akhtar the actor is busy promoting his next film Karthik Calling Karthik, Farhan the director is busy finalizing locales for the highly anticipated Don 2.
The film will star Shah Rukh Khan in lead and talks are now on for the leading lady.
"Right now the leads have been narrowed down to actresses – Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra. Priyanka has let Shah Rukh know that she has dates for him. In fact, she has made sure that the second half of this year is available for Don 2, if she is signed on," says a source, "But Farhan is quite keen to have Deepika in the film too."
Farhan and his partner Ritesh Sidhwani have been traveling non-stop of late to finalise on the location as well.
"Farhan is traveling to Philippines this week to finalise the exact places where he will be shooting Don 2. Dublin is another city where large portions of the film will be shot. The shoot for Don 2 starts will start some time in early October and will be done in one stretch. So, by January 2011, filming will be complete," adds our source.
"Shah Rukh was very keen to begin work on Don 2. And that's why he kept most of this year free, so that he could prepare and strengthen up for this role. There are a lot of stunts that he will be doing. He cannot afford to get injured. And so, this year, he has planned to do Ra 1 with Kareena first. That should wrap up by July end. Then as usual he will take a month off to spend with his kids, as Ra 1 is also being shot entirely in the US. And soon after that, he will begin work on Don 2, which will again be shot internationally," says the source.
Shah Rukh Khan, who will be co-producing the movie with Farhan's Excel Entertainment, is hoping for a Diwali release.
