Who's
making
Don
2?
There
are
murmurs
that
SRK
is
keen
to
make
the
sequel
to
Don,
with
Farhan
Akhtar
in
the
director's
seat.
Also,
there's
talk
that
Chandra
Barot,
the
director
of
the
Big
B
starrer
Don,
has
already
started
work
on
the
sequel
and
has
also
approached
Bachchan
to
enact
the
central
role
in
Don
2:
The
Return
of
the
King.
"Not true at all," Barot shoots back, even before I complete my question, "Is it possible for me to surpass Don? He [Bachchan] won a popular award for the film in question and in my opinion, it's difficult for him to supersede that performance in our next film together. Could Ramesh Sippy outdo Sholay?"
So the news is untrue? "Absolutely! Trust me, I don't have a clue how it originated in the first place. It's being said that I called him [Bachchan], narrated the story on phone and he okayed it instantly. It's humbug. I never did such a thing," he swears.
What's Barot up to these days? "After Don [SRK] and the media hype associated with the film [Barot was extensively covered by the media], I received three lucrative offers, but I have decided to complete the script before I embark on the film. Also, I have resolved not to produce films henceforth. Sure, I am open to direction, but the production reins will have to be handled by someone else," he states.
