Shah Rukh unveils 'Don' games for mobiles

At a grand event yesterday, Shah Rukh Khanunveiled India's First Mobile Games designed by Hungama Mobile on his latest movie 'Don'and the first ever Multiplayer Online Game for a Bollywood movie on India's only Multiplayer gaming portal, 'gaminghungama.'

You are a known game freak. What games do you play?

I think it is wonderful. I play every game that comes out. I make it a point to find out what new games have come out. I have children at home who are into gaming. The game which we are playing these days is 'Smack Down versus Raw.' These games need a lot of learning. Between me, Farhan and Ritesh, we play 'Soccer World Cup FIFA 2006.' That was our favorite game.

Do you play downloadable games or CD games?

I don't download games. I don't lie. I have a computer. You can download most of the stuff if you are on the move. Most of the telephone services offer a semi broadband kind of a thing. So one can download stuff on your PC.

What do you feel of 'Don' and the 'Don Game' designed by Hungama Mobile?

'Don' as a film is aimed at a certain audience. It is supposed to be able to woo and explain to youngsters, what great actors and great directors had done years ago and perhaps introduce the whole thing to them. We are trying to bring cinema relevant to youths aged 15-25. That's why it is also relevant for us to do something related to gaming. These are all realities. These are what youngsters do now, whether it is on the telephone or the computer or some console. And that's why a tie-up between 'Don' and a game foray.

As 'Don's title suggests it is a movie about chase – The Chase Begins – and it lends itself to turning into a game. This has been happening since the last few years. Gaming I remember has been attempted on telephony and computers. This is now suddenly coming of age. It is becoming quite real and people are downloading games. I would not deny the scope of other films to be converted into games, like say 'Krrish.' I feel it is a marvelous movie to turn it into a game.
