More about Akhtar's 'Don' franchise
Way back in time, Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani obtained the rights to the original 1978 film starring Amitabh Bachchan and remade it with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead as Don (2006) and a sequel Don 2 (2011).
Both films became hits and Khan's portrayal became an immortal part of Indian pop culture.
Boman Irani donned the antagonist's role in the two installments, hence it will be interesting to see Hashmi get into Irani's shoes for the upcoming action thriller.
