Don: The Chase Begins Again, better known simply as Don, is a 2006 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film co-written and directed by Farhan Akhtar. The film was produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under their production company Excel Entertainment. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan as the titular anti-hero and Priyanka Chopra as Roma, while Arjun Rampal, Isha Koppikar, Boman Irani, Pavan Malhotra, and Om Puri appear in supporting roles. Kareena Kapoor Khan makes a guest appearance. Don is a reboot of the 1978 film of the same title, and follows the titular criminal's look-alike who has been sent on a clandestine mission to impersonate Don after he is wounded in a chase, and to gather intelligence on the drug mafia.
Akhtar sought to remake the film with a contemporary style, while paying homage to the original and cinema of the 1970s. After acquiring the remake rights, he developed the project as a modern reinterpretation of the earlier film. Akhtar co-wrote the screenplay with his father Javed Akhtar, who co-wrote the original script with Salim Khan. While retaining the basic plot, the remake introduced several changes, including an international setting and different climax. Principal photography began in Mumbai, and later moved to Malaysia, where most of the film was shot. The soundtrack was composed by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, with lyrics by Javed Akhtar.
