00:00So guys, we'll start with the very obvious, Don 2, that's what brings you all together.
00:24Usually what happens when you make a film is there's someone who writes it who wants
00:29to make a film, directs it and then approaches actors and finds a producer.
00:34I think this is one film that happened where everyone who was involved in the first one
00:38you know was wanting the sequel to happen.
00:41So it was almost like a kind of a joint effort and a concerted, organized effort so to speak,
00:46you know to let's get together and make a sequel.
00:48When we were making the first Don, I don't think any of us really thought that there
00:51would be a sequel or anything but after the way the first film turned out and you know
00:57the way people reacted to it, I think everybody just kind of felt that this is a film that
01:00could have a sequel because Don's character is just something that is unstoppable.
01:06Farhan came up with a really really good script and it was one of my most memorable films
01:13that I've ever shot.
01:14But to be really honest, I think of Don as, I take it very personally, I believe I'm a
01:21little like that.
01:22I also believe Farhan also writes like Don and it's one of those few roles, I've been
01:29working for 20 years now, but I think it's one of those few roles where we celebrate
01:36making this film.
01:37Don just makes being bad really good, you know.
01:42And also I feel about Don what's really interesting and I think on some level what works really
01:47well is that he's very very honest about how he is.
01:52You know actually, I mean, what do you guys like to, okay, let me just tell you first
02:01why they laugh because a couple of the stunts which make me look like a dead, death defying
02:11stunts that I've done, by practicing for both of them, I was rather close.
02:20But it happens, you know.
02:22So the one that, this building, well let me first tell you how it happened.
02:27I just landed and I landed in Berlin and we all knew on Twitter.
02:29You were jet lagged, no?
02:30No no no, it wasn't jet lagged.
02:31We were on Twitter so I was like taking pictures of this tallest building.
02:34Suddenly I go under it and Farhan tells me that, you know, we're doing a shot but you're
02:37not to jump.
02:38And you just have to hang and, you know, horizontally and then the duplicate guy will do it.
02:45So I said yeah okay.
02:46It was very cold and I never expected that the first day or the first one hour that I've
02:49landed in Berlin I'm going to be jumping from this 400 feet, 450 feet kind of place.
02:53They told me to practice without hanging from the building on the ground which is as high
03:00from me as my height is.
03:03So they say, you know, just kind of bend down and we'll just hold you from here and, you
03:06know, we just want to see if you'll balance or whatever.
03:09And I think between Farhan, Pritesh and Priyanka they had put some oil there to make me look
03:14really stupid because I fell and there was a rope holding me so I was only about one
03:23inch from the ground and I was dangling.
03:25Show what happened to your glasses.
03:27And my glasses, I'll show you, my glasses, down the glasses, like this.
03:37Oh my God!
03:49The biggest mistake of Don's enemy is that he's Don's enemy.
