The
much
awaited
Shah
Rukh
Khan-starrer
Don,
produced
by
Excel
Entertainment
and
directed
by
Farhan
Akhtar,
is
scheduled
for
a
Diwali
/
Eid
release
this
year.
The
film,
which
is
currently
under
production,
will
be
distributed
overseas
by
the
International
Distribution
arm
of
UTV.
Some
time
back
there
were
some
stories
circulating
in
a
section
of
the
trade
about
Adlabs
bidding
for
Don.
But
these
rumors
have
been
put
to
rest
by
producer
Ritesh
Sidhwani,
who
said,
"U
T
V
will
release
Don
overseas."
In
the
overseas
where
the
usual
song-and-dance
romances
have
been
known
to
work,
UTV
has
acquired
the
distinction
of
making
even
the
most
unconventional
films
with
different
genres
such
as
those
of
Bluffmaster,
Rang
De
Basanti
&
Taxi
No.
9211
deliver
in
a
big
way.
After
the
superhit
Aamir
Khan
starrer
Rang
De
Basanti,
SRK's
Don
will
be
U
T
V's
second
tent-pole
distribution
venture
of
2006.
U
T
V's
next
release
is
Priyadarshan's

Neha
Dhupia
comedy,
Chup
Chup
Ke
slated
for
a
