Shah Rukh will be taking on Tom Cruise (Mission Impossiable 4), no less, with Don 2. The two action-oriented super-slick films on global crime and punishment release globally within a week of one another in December. Hush-hush plans are on to put together an international version of Farhan's ferocious furious and flamboyant flick so that Shah Rukh's Don 2 can come face to face with Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible 4, which incidentally features Anil Kapoor in a cameo.

To prove how global in execution Don 2 is, here's the thing. A car chase sequence featuring Shah Rukh shot in Berlin last month was so steep and dangerous that it damaged one of the expensive cameras that had been recruited to capture the heart-in-the-mouth stunt. Luckily no one was hurt.

According to a source from the film the Don's character in Don 2: The Chase Continues has gone international with his criminal ambitions. While in the first part, Don wanted to take over the crime syndicate in India in Don 2, Don wants to capture the entire European market. Shah Rukh's character is no longer an Indian crime lord wanted in 11 countries. He is portrayed as a European gangster, replete with all the trappings of an international kingpin.

The magnitude of the character's power and the external trappings of his prosperity have been captured in Don 2 by deploying a budget that leaves behind all other Indian films on international crime.

To play the European kingpin, Farhan Akhtar and Shah Rukh apparently studied the lives and lifestyles of various international crime lords. Says a source, It was one thing for Shah Rukh to portray the Indian don wanted in 11 countries. In Don 2, his character wants to rule Europe. Shah Rukh's clothes, cars, girls, gadgets, body language and perfume had to convey a global aura.
