In 2006, Farhan Akhtar decided to remake  the 1978 Don and came up with Don: The Chase Begins Again. Taking the story ahead, Farhan Akhtar has finally decided to make the sequel of that story and take the script of Don to the next level by adding some really great action work and potential storyline that can impress the audiences and do something more original.

Don 2: The Chase Continues will be an innovating concept because it will have Don in various different formats that have never been shown before. The movie will be available in 2D and 3D format and apart from Hindi it will be available in Telugu and Tamil languages.

In the earlier version, Don has to deal with the goons and gangs of underworld in Malaysia. However, in the sequel Don moves ahead and decides to take over the European Mafia. Hence, he has to take over all the European ganglords and bosses to complete his mission and rule the European underworld and at the same time escape the law enforcement agencies.

The movie has been extensively shot in Germany and Switzerland.As per Farhan Akhtar he had already thought of making the sequel when he was making the first version and he immediately announced that he would make the sequel for Don. However, both Farhan and Shahrukh were busy with their other commitments and therefore the project was postponed.

Shahrukh Khan had to work on his body because he would have to look like Don and therefore he developed six pack abs. Shahrukh Khan and Farhan Akhtar decided to unveil the first trailer of Don 2 on YouTube and it received positive response with more than 2 million views in less than 3 weeks.

Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani did mention during the trailer release event that they have come up with better tongue in cheek witty dialogues for Don since the earlier Don versions were popular for their witty dialogues.

The soundtrack is composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy who also composed the earlier version of Don for Farhan Akhtar. The music release is scheduled to release on November 17 as announced by Farhan Akhtar on his Twitter account.

Don 2 verdict: absolutely fabulous, clever script, slick production, brilliant acting and outstanding dialogues 9.5/10 (- 0.5 for Priyanka Chopra). Brilliant from start to finish! Excellent

first and second half. Bollywood signs off 2011 spectacularly with Don 2. It exceeded my expectations by far, and I had very high expectations to start with!
Mansoor hafeeza sent a tweet to Farhan Akhtar saying: Hey farhan .. The response is amazing in uk.. Just came out after watching don 2 in Wandsworth London .. What a movie year
Will Sheppard’s Review: Watch Don 2 to see Shahrukh Khan and Boman Irani give amazing performances, priyanka do her usual rubbish, explosions, car chases and only one song!
Mahendra Kumar Giri: Nice work done by Farhan Akhtar! Made a man make switch over from Cartoon (R-1) movie to action thriller Don 2 !!
Javed Kana: Premiere of Don 2. Nail-biting first half. SRK ROCKS!! And Farhan Akhtar’s direction is first rate!!!

Jay Mamtora’s Don 2 review and impressions spread over several tweets. Some interesting points, do read.

Don 2 (at) Interval: slick and gripping movie and the 3D is very effective! Let’s hope the curse of the second half doesn’t strike!

Shahrukh Khan makes a great villain and the action sequences are outstanding – they put Ra One to shame.

Don 2 totally kicks ass! What a film great action, suspense, coherent plot, interesting characterisations… Very Hollywood

SRK performed really well… None of his usual hamming… Very restrained and stylish being a villain really suits him

Priyanka Chopra was good in whatever she had to do and aced the action sequences but I wish there was more of her

The interaction and her relationship with Don is very interesting

And what I loved was the fact that there were no unwanted songs and so there was no interruption in the plot. It was waay better than Don 1!

The supporting cast were good too especially Boman Irani. Kunal Kapoor and Lara Dutta were average

Essentially Don 2 is a boys film. Great action and explosions and an interesting plot too.

The characters were very grey nobody was black or white! They should definitely have a third part

I didn’t really count the action sequences but I loved how there was a certain consistency abt the film – no bakwas!

On Don 2′s Runtime: it was about 2hrs 20mins I think

It’s so cool and slick and really shows that Bollywood can make good action films too

I’d say about 3.5 to 4 stars… I really enjoyed it was hooked didn’t get bored at all

Not killer suspense. no, but I liked how everything fell into place.

It wasn’t stupid suspense like say Race (Abbas-Mustan film) it made sense.

But people were laughing at SRK’s witty remarks and saying how much better it was than Ra One

On Hrithik Roshan’s role: He didn’t have that big a role but was okay in whatever little he had to do.

He was dapper and dashing as usual but i was slightly disappointed about the way he was used (in Don 2)

It’s a thousand times better than Don 1 I didnt really like Don 1

I want to watch the first one again as it refers back to the first quite a bit I would like to watch in succession

SRK was restrained and subtle not his usual over the top acting that’s why I enjoyed it

I must say 3D was very well done

Hrithik was in for about 5 mins this is an out and out SRK movie

Not slow paced at all. The action kicks off in the first 5 mins that’s what I liked no time wasting

Very mission impossible (Hollywood movies), slick and believable no dishum dishum like standard Bollywood films

On Sahil Shroff: the newcomer was handsome but his performance was nothing to write home about

I have a feeling it will definitely do well and help SRK reclaim some lost glory post Ra One

I think it won’t break bodyguards record because people were so disappointed with Ra One

I liked the climax it was exciting and the way it ended
