DCP D’Silva<BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>DCP D’Silva was played by Iftekhar and now by Boman Irani. He is an honest cop who wants to get Don no matter what finally gets him, but Don is killed in the encounter. So he replaces Don with his look alike Vijay and sends him to the smugglers gang. He is the only one who knows Vijay’s true identity. But D’Silva is killed in a shootout. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Interpol Officer Malik<BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Interpol Officer Malik in the original was played by Om Shivpuri and now it is being played by an actor who shares an identical name and plays the same character. Om Puri. This is a big coincidence. Malik in the original was the villain. He was actually Wardhan. He had kidnapped the original Interpol officer and replaced himself as Malik. He gathered all police information and helped the smugglers. Life was perfect for him until Vijay knew his true identity. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><TABLE WIDTH=100% CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=1 BORDER=0><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><TR BGCOLOR=#EBE3E3 ALIGN=left><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><TD>Don Factoid<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>The script did not even have a name. It was a script pertaining to a character called Don. When Nariman Irani approached Salim, he said, ‘Humare paas ek breakfast script padi hai jo koi nahi le raha hai.’ And Nariman said ‘chalega’. So that is how ‘Don’ was made.<BR><BR></TD><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p></TR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p></TABLE>
