Shahrukh and me in love-hate relationship in ‘Don 2’: Priyanka Chopra

As Priyanka Chopra reprises the role of Roma in Don 2, she says her character is torn between hatred and love for the character of Don played by Shahrukh Khan in the film.

The first instalment of the Farhan Akhtar-directed film, which released five years ago, showed Priyanka falling in love with SRK. Though she realised that he wasn't really what he seemed, tables have pretty much turned for the lady who is now on a mission to destroy Don in the second instalment.

“When it comes to Don, there is this really interesting relationship between Roma and him. Her life's mission is to catch him. Having said that, there is still something strange that draws her towards him. She is angry with him for what he has done to her but it is tough for her to hate him,” Priyanka Chopra is quoted as saying by a news agency.

The 29-year-old actress says that the combination of Shahrukh Khan's charisma and her revengeful attitude gives birth to a love-hate relationship between the two.

“It is this very combination that makes their relationship exceptionally interesting. There is a love hate relationship between the two of us. While I am forever angry, he is always oh-so-charming,” she said.

The 2006 film's music charmed listeners and the dance number 'Aaj Ki Raat' is played till date. 'Don 2' hasn't been able to weave the same magic yet music-wise but Priyanka has no regrets.

"'Don 2' is a very fast paced movie and there is no place for songs. The ones that you even see in the film are those that are really required in the film. Farhan was sure that he didn't want to move away from the essence of 'Don'. It is easy to just go ahead and copy what has been made earlier but then 'Don 2' is not 'Don'. This is a cool stylish action film and much more than just 'Aaj Ki Raat'."

‘Don 2’ releases on December 23 in both 2D and 3D versions.
