Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently had a pleasant surprise while shooting for Farhan Akhtar 's Don which is the remake of the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Don (1978) .

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad last week paid a surprise visit to the sets of 'Don- The Chase Begins again' at the exclusive Four Seasons Resort in Langkawi in Malaysia.

For the stars of the film SRK, former Miss World Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor , it was indeed a matter of pride to have a former head of state of the country personally visit the sets of their film.

SRK, who essays the role done by Bachchan in the 1978 movie, took a break from shooting of the film to entertain Dr. Mahathir, trade sources said.

The sources said that during the brief meeting, both SRK and Dr. Mahathir expressed a mutual admiration for each other.

During his visit, the former Malaysian PM also had interactions with the film's producer Ritesh Sidhwani and Priyanka.

The unit of 'Don' has been shooting round the clock for the film in Malaysia for the last one month.

During the 70-day shooting schedule of the film in Malaysia, the unit will travel to 42 locations, including the Penchala Link, Kampung Baru and the Petronas Twin Towers.

Among the scenes to be shot during the schedule will be the classic number 'Khai Ke Paan Banaras Wala', filmed on Bachchan and Zeenat Aman in the original. In the sequel, the song, to be shot on May 13, will feature SRK and Priyanka and will be choreographed by Saroj Khan .

Also scheduled to be filmed is the song 'Yeh Mera Dil', being choreographed by Farah Khan for Farhan's version. The song, which was filmed on Bachchan and Helen in the original, features SRK with Kareena in the sequel.

According to Sidhwani, the sequel of 'Don' will have SRK playing a techno-savvy gentleman - 'James Bondesque' character with knowledge of all modern accessories and gadgets.

Even Priyanka is expected to indulge in some daredevil stunts and display her martial arts skills for the movie all by herself.
