Don 2: Priyanka's out, Sush is in!

The Don sequel is very much on, but Chopra's continued presence remains unconfirmed

By: Tushar Joshi

maybe, baby: Priyanka ChopraPriyanka Chopra kicked some serious butt in Farhan Akhtar's Don. However, the chances of her appearing in the sequel are bleak. A source working on the film reveals that the Krrish actress will not be a part of the second installment.
Says the insider, "At the moment, the film is in its early stage. A draft has been made and talks are on over the final shape DON 2 will take. However, the chances of Priyanka being in the film are very slim."
The source adds that Priyanka is being edged out in favour of Sushmita Sen. "Talks are still in the early stages, but Sush is definitely one of the names being considered for the film. The casting will be done once the script is ready. Shah Rukh will have two leading ladies this time too."
Too early to talk
Priyanka who is currently in Srinagar for an event, says, "I haven't yet been approached for the film, neither am I aware that a sequel is being planned."
Another theory doing the round is that the sequel will have a totally fresh storyline picking up from where the first one ended. "Apart from Shah Rukh, no other name has been confirmed. Sush is in consideration because she fits into the action genre and has the ability to pull off stunts," adds the source.
Ritesh Sidhwani of Excel Entertainment, who produced Don with Akhtar, doesn't confirm or deny these developments. "There's nothing as of now to talk about," he says.


main hoon naa! Sushmita Sen

Sushmita replaces Priyanka in Don 2

After the resounding success of the remake of 1978’s Amitabh Bachchan starrer Don, both the director Farhan Akhtar and Shah Rukh Khan have now shown their eagerness to make a sequel of the movie.

While initially it was just eagerness, things seem to have been finalized now. There is a great possibility of Don 2 coming on the screen soon.

The remake had left the opportunity for a sequel so possibilities cannot be ruled out completely.

There is a buzz going around that except for the beautiful Priyanka Chopra, the entire cast of Don would be retained in the sequel.

Reportedly, Priyanka is likely to be replaced by another beauty queen Sushmita Sen.

So if things move in the right direction, now Sushmita will be playing the leading lady. Humm interesting! But let us wait for the official announcement.

Yeh! Sushmita is perfect choice ... she is sexy and has grace. If I imagine anyone taking place of Zeenat Aman ... the answer would be Sush Babes.

Little birdie tells me she is gonna wear a 2 Piece swimming costume in the movie. Zeenat Aman vs Sushmita Sen.

I liked don n will look forward to don 2

We told you last month that former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen has replaced former Miss World Priyanka Chopra in the sequel of the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Don .

But now reports are that they were just baseless rumours and Priyanka indeed is starring in the sequel of the remake of the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Don (1978) .

Farhan Akhtar is making the sequel with SRK and Priyanka in the lead.

This will be the first time in Bollywood history that a sequel to a remake is being made.

The screenplay is being written and other actors are being considered for pivotal roles, reports say.

Reports further add that this time on, the production will have to be much more spectacular and embellished with superb effects.

Akhtar has the difficult task of overtaking benchmarks already set by Dhoom 2 and Krrish .

The ‘Don’ sequel will have to be one notch higher than all these epoch-makers to make a mark among film watchers.

Reports added that SRK and Priyanka have already inked in dates for the film in early 2008.
