"You take out a gun and it means business" - Shahrukh Khan
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,October 18 2006]
There have been numerous stories about why Shahrukh Khan did 'Don - The Chase begins again'. Well, let's hear it from the horse's mouth.
"Don was the most modern film of our time. I still remember the bow-tie, dotted shirt and the dialogues. It reminds me of my fondest memories from childhood and how I always dreamt of playing a part like Don, have a gun in my hand and girls on my side, and therefore, to be Don was to re-live the whole of my childhood.
I obviously canÂt question the greatness of old Don but what I have tried achieving is to make this Don a little more relevant in todayÂs world. The world has become harsher and a lot grittier and thus the movie and the character are a lot more mean, cold and foxy. This means when you hit people - they stay hit, you knife people - they die, you take out a gun and it means business.
What actually was most exciting for me is that Don offered me to do some coarse action, thatÂs something my son likes and also gave me a chance to prove to myself that IÂm still as good as I as a few years back."
