By Ramchander
Shahrukh
Khan,
who
will
be
seen
as
a
dreaded
gangster
in
Don
2,
has
done
some
mind-blowing
stunts
on
his
own
in
the
upcoming
Hindi
movie.
The
superstar,
instead
of
using
body
double,
opted
to
do
some
of
the
action
sequences
by
himself.
The
King
Khan
was
initially
feared
to
do
the
action
sequences
but
decided
to
do
it
on
his
own
after
director
Farhan
Akhtar
encouraged
him.
"I
was
very
scared
to
do
the
stunts.
I
did
have
a
body
double
but
there
are
certain
stunts
that
I
did
myself.
I
had
to
jump
from
a
building
and
when
I
was
standing
on
the
edge
I
wondered,
'why
am
I
doing
this
and
not
some
romantic
film?"
The
PTI
quotes
Shahrukh
Khan
as
saying.
"But
Farhan
(Akhtar)
helped
me
a
lot.
He
has
skydived
some
99
times
and
that
is
amazing.
In
the
end
it
was
fun," said
Shah
Rukh,
who
was
in
the
Capital
last
night
to
promote
the
film.
Hollywood
stunt
director
Wolfgang
Stegemann
of
the
Inglourious
Basterds
fame
has
choreographed
the
action
sequences.
Don
2:
The
Chase
Continues
is
a
sequel
to
the
2006
blockbuster
movie
Don:
The
Chase
Begins
Again,
which
was
remake
of
Amitabh
Bachchan's
yesteryear
blockbuster
of
the
same
name.
The
forthcoming
movie
is
directed
by
Farhan
Akhtar
and
also
features
Priyanka
Chopra,
Boman
Irani,
Lara
Dutta,
Kunal
Kapoor
and
others.
