Rumor has it that Nadeem and Nasir Irani, sons of the producer Nariman Irani, the producer of the original Don, are toying with the idea of their own sequel titled Don 2, The Return Of The King.

A little birdie also tells us that Bachchan has agreed to do the film.

With the Shahrukh Khan and the Amitabh Bachchan pitted against each other, sparks are bound to fly. At the box office we mean.

A source says, “Farhan Akhtar announced the sequel to Don as soon as his film released but the status of the project is unknown. Besides Farhan does not own the rights to make the sequel, so how can he start on the project? He has to acquire the rights from the Iranis. And why would they part with the rights when they are planning their own sequel?”

Amitabh Bachchan is keen in doing The Return Of The King. “He has met the Irani brothers and there are talks on for the sequel. They are looking for a good director. Negotiations are on with an ad filmmaker. They want to make a slick film with lots of special effects.”
