Recently, the fight directing skills of Shah Rukh Khan came to the fore in Malaysia on the sets of Don .
SRK supervised an action sequence to help co-star Boman Irani finish his scenes on time.
The unit, under director Farhan Akhtar was shooting at a mountainous locale near a resort in Langkawi.
It was a fight sequence between SRK and Boman (who plays Iftekhar’s role from Don (1978) ).
A prominent website quoted a source as saying, “The fight master that day was messing up scenes and wasn’t really doing well. Boman, on the other hand, was getting late to board a flight to Goa, where he was to shoot for Farhan’s production ‘Honeymoon Travels.’
“That’s when Shah Rukh pitched in and decided to do the shot divisions himself. Though there weren’t many scenes that day, it took several cuts. Shah Rukh explained to Boman about his scene, how he should enter the frame and stuff.”
It was then that the sequence was executed finally and Boman managed to board his flight on time.
