Big B versus SRK again?

Who�s making DON 2? There are murmurs that SRK is keen to make the sequel to DON, with Farhan Akhtar in the director�s seat. Also, there�s talk that Chandra Barot, the director of the Big B starrer DON, has already started work on the sequel and has also approached Bachchan to enact the central role in DON 2: THE RETURN OF THE KING.

�Not true at all,� Barot shoots back, even before I complete my question, �Is it possible for me to surpass DON? He [Bachchan] won a popular award for the film in question and in my opinion, it�s difficult for him to supersede that performance in our next film together. Could Ramesh Sippy outdo SHOLAY?�

So the news is untrue? �Absolutely! Trust me, I don�t have a clue how it originated in the first place. It�s being said that I called him [Bachchan], narrated the story on phone and he okayed it instantly. It�s humbug. I never did such a thing,� he swears.

What�s Barot up to these days? �After DON [SRK] and the media hype associated with the film [Barot was extensively covered by the media], I received three lucrative offers, but I have decided to complete the script before I embark on the film. Also, I have resolved not to produce films henceforth. Sure, I am open to direction, but the production reins will have to be handled by someone else,� he states.
