Don2 goes international


Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's fans from Berlin will witness the return of the King this month.

Director Farhan Akhtar, producer Ritesh Sidhwani and actors Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra will present their latest venture 'Don 2 - The King is Back' at the Berlin International Film Festival, 'Berlinale', on February 11th at the Friedrichstadt-Palast.

To celebrate the movie's premiere at the 62nd 'Berlinale', the German Embassy New Delhi is organising an evening with Farhan Akhtar on Thursday, February 2nd.

Hosted by the acting Ambassador of Germany to India, Mr. Cord Meier-Klodt, the evening will see Farhan Akhtar share some candid experiences from the shooting of the film in Berlin.

This will be followed by the premiere of a short version of the film, and an interaction with the media. The event has been sponsored by Lapp India.

The city of Berlin is the main setting for the movie. Shot in prominent locations throughout Berlin, some of the highlights include Alexanderplatz, the Berlin Cathedral, the State Opera, the French Cathedral and Concert Hall at Gendarmenmarkt, as well as the Brandenburg Gate.

From 9th to 19th February 2012, Berlin will roll out the red carpet for more than 19,000 professional visitors from 115 countries. The public programme of the 'Berlinale' shows about 400 films per year, mostly international or European premieres.

Films of every genre, length and format find their place in the various sections: international cinema in the Competition, independent and art house in Panorama, films for young audiences in Generation, new discoveries and promising talents from the German film scene in Perspektive Deutsches Kino, avant-garde, experimental and unfamiliar cinematography in the Forum, and an exploration of cinematic possibilities in Berlinale Shorts.
