On Thursday, December 23, Farhan Akhtar’s Don 2 celebrated its tenth anniversary. The film was a sequel to Farhan’s directorial Don, which was a remake of Amitabh Bachchan’s film of the same name and starred Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani, and Om Puri, among others. As the movie approached its tenth anniversary, the director took to social media to send a message to the cast and crew. He began by writing, “No one could have made the role appear as awesome as SRK did,” while sharing a video from the film. He also recalled the late actor Puri, who had a key role in the film.
