More than 200 members of the fan club booked an auditorium at a multiplex and watched the morning show of the Farhan Akhtar directed 3D sequel to the 2006 action thriller.

The film’s distributors and theatre owners say ‘Don 2’,which also stars Priyanka Chopra,Boman Irani and Lara Dutta,has opened to packed halls across the city.

In this sequel,the wicked and debonair Asian underworld Don,played by Khan,has his sights set on European domination by fighting against the existing European underworld and law enforcement agencies.

‘Don 2’ also marks SRK’s return as villain. His anti-hero performances in films like ‘Darr’ (1993),’Baazigar’ (1993) and ‘Anjaam’ (1994) where he played an obsessive lover had received critical acclaim.
