Farhan Akhtar reviving Don 2 with Shahrukh Khan

Everyone's speculating about Don 2. Farhan Akhtar, who directed the Shahrukh Khan starrer Don, had announced the sequel to the film quite some time back. While Farhan got busy with his acting assignments and SRK too decided to work on Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi first and My Name is Khan next, one kept wondering when Farhan and SRK would start the next instalment of Don.

"Don 2 will start in October this year. We've locked the script and also the locations," Farhan and his producer-partner Ritesh Sidhwani tell me. The new Don will have two leading ladies. "Priyanka Chopra will be one of them. The second will be finalized in due course," Farhan states.

There's talk that the producers are also planning to start Rock On 2. "A lot of people want us to do that. Right now Abhishek (Kapoor, the director of Rock On) is working on another script. But if he finds a script that looks like a worthy follow up to Rock On, why not?" Farhan clarifies.
