Kunal replaces Arjun in SRK's Don 2

We recently reported that Arjun Rampal is not a part of Farhan Akhtar’s Don 2 anymore.

The buzz is that Arjun asked for a huge fee which didn’t go down well with the producers. As a result Arjun opted out of the film. Arjun played Pran’s character Jasjeet in the remake of Don.

The latest is that the Rang De Basanti actor Kunal Kapoor has been roped in to play the part.

Kunal confirms, “I am very excited about the role, as well as being part of a huge franchise like Don. And the fact that I get to share screen space with SRK makes it twice as exciting.”

Ritesh Sidhwani confirms that Kunal is doing an important role in the film but he denies that he has replaced Arjun Rampal.

Says Ritesh, “Kunal hasn’t replaced Arjun in the film. There is no Jasjeet in the film. Instead we have introduced three new parts in the film and Kunal plays one of them and Lara Dutta plays the second one. We still have to cast for the third character. From the original cast we have Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani and Om Puri. When did we say that Arjun was part of Don 2?” he questions.
