Will Shahrukh Khan climb to new heights of stardom with ‘Don 2′?

Last Updated: 4.17 PM IST 12.15.2011

We ask this question ‘coz the superstar will once again be seen as a mean, nasty villain in Farhan Akhtar’s Don 2. Remember, it was the wicked acts in his first few films that got him starry glory when he started his career in B-town!

Life isn’t all peaches and roses for Shahrukh Khan at the moment. He has received more flak than praises for his ambitious project, RA.One. He has more frenemies than friends these days. While these are all signs of being a superstar, it’s unhealthy for a human being to be picked on so continuously – and did you know that some of our readers, people who keep an eye on bollywoodlife.com, also think that we are always picking on SRK? That apart, knowing the superstar’s good luck with being wicked, things may change for better…or worse…with Don 2. If you look at the film’s promos, it’s obvious that SRK loves every bit of being bad, a cool villain. And if you go with what Don 2’s director Farhan Akhtar says: “SRK is meaner, wittier and more interesting in this version than in the previous film (Don)”, our gut feeling is that the Baadshah of Bollywood will rock every other Khan’s boat to the point of seasickness. Why, you ask? ‘Coz not very long ago – two decades back, to be precise – a newcomer called Shahrukh Khan struck his first chord of stardom with his bad guy act. Remember it was the psychotic son in Baazigar and obsessed lovers from Darr and Anjaam that brought shine to SRK’s then-sluggish career. Everyone liked the Aamir Khan lookalike, but no one was sure if he had it in him to be a part of the numbers race. But once these films released, he became the next BIG thing. And it seems all that is happening again with SRK, life coming full circle, as it tends to do. So don’t you agree that a lot is going to change for SRK after Don 2? You tell us…

    SRK is competing with amir salman and tom cruise
    so this makes him the king of bollywood and srk has 3.2billion ppl fan following while tom cruise hav 2.6billion and amir salman not even there
    and this film seems intresting so lets wait and see

    these days, filmmakers are obsessed with making films on bad guys and gangsters. dont know why? maybe they are trying to compete with ram gopal varma. this srk, overactor, doesnt suit the role of don at this age…. and as far as bad guy acts go, see ajay devgns performance in company, and manoj bajpayees performance in aks. thats what is called a bad guy act……

    You know why people hate SRK? Coz they simply can’t bear the fact that no matter what they or their stars do…SRK REMAINS THE KING!!!! He has competed with every star of Bollywood…from Amitabh to Hrithik, from Amir Loser to Salman Bozer…at the end of the day, it’s still Shahrukh who makes headlines and not them!

    All hail to the king!

    I truly agree, once a king always a king, and I read in the Wiki that his Ra one made 240 Crores, I still fail to understand why people keep on saying Ra One was a disaster, did people expect it to make 1000 Crores!!!!
    Don 2 will be a blockbuster, all SRK fans are wishing him best luck.
    Can’t wait to watch the film.
    SRK Haters get a life, look for someone else to vent out ur frustration!!!!

      Those people are just riding the pointless wave of negativity surrounding ra.one and saying things like its a disaster or they think it didn’t beat bodyguard which it did in terms of worldwide collections. But i have to say whilst what ra.one collected is a good number, it was expected to beat 3 idiots based on the hype but obviously that became an impossibility due to the ridiculous negative word of mouth.

    he is already a super star legend, another hit or flop makes no difference to his stardom.
