By IndiaFM News Bureau, April 10, 2006 - 04:18 IST
The unit of Farhan Akhtar's Don is currently shooting round the clock in Malaysia. On May 13th, the classic number ‘Khai Ke Paan Banaras Wala’ will be shot. The song features Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra and will be choreographer by Saroj Khan. It must be a feeling of deja vu for Saroj Khan. Twenty-six years ago her mentor, P.L Raj had choreographed the original with Amitabh Bachchan and Zeenat Aman.
Saroj Khan is taking care to ensure that the sensibilities of the new version appeal to the people of today's times. She believes that Priyanka has a lot of grace and potential as a dancer. Priyanka too is ecstatic about working with Saroj Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. Both of them being legends, it is a great opportunity for the young actress. The other classic song from Don, Yeh Mera Dil was choreographed by Farah Khan for Farhan's version. Yeh Mera Dil features SRK with Kareena Kapoor.
Currently in Kuala Lumpur, the unit will spend around 70 days at 42 locations, including the Penchala Link, Kampung Baru and the Petronas Twin Towers. Eighty per cent of the movie will be shot in Langkawi and Kuala Lumpur. There is also news that a few portions might be shot in Singapore.
This version of Don will have Shahrukh Khan playing a techno-savvy gentleman having knowledge of all modern accessories and gadgets. Even Priyanka Chopra is expected to indulge in some daredevil stunts and display her martial arts skills for the movie all by herself.
