Shahrukh in Malaysia to shoot Don 2

Kuala Lumpur, (ANI): Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan has reached Malaysia to film the sequel to his 2006 blockbuster hit Don.

Accompanied by co-star Priyanka Chopra and a 60-member crew, the King of Bollywood looked relaxed and up to the task of filming Don 2, a highly-anticipated action thriller.

Don 2 will continue to portray Khan as Don, an undercover police officer masquerading as the leader of an international gang of drug smugglers. Priyanka will play his love interest, Roma. The sequel will promote Malaysia, just as the initial blockbuster did.

Local sensation Ady Putra, known for his bad boy roles in hit Malay movies like Anak Halal and Histeria, will also star alongside Khan, with shooting to be done at Sungai Udang. Khan had set the trend for Bollywood to have Malaysia, especially Malacca, as a preferred location for filming.

"The state has a special place in his heart," the Star Online quoted her as saying after greeting the Bollywood stars at KLIA. Don 2 will also be filmed in Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi. The star will be in the country for about a month.
