Don2 : The King Is Back will be partially filmed in Langkawi Geopark

Though the general perception is that Farhan Akhtar's Shah Rukh Khan stared, 'Don : The King Is Back' has predominantly been shot in Berlin, that is true. But what is also true is that the film has a lot of footage from Malaysia also.

Apart from the Malacca jail sequence, extensive 15-day shooting has also taken place in the tourist island of Langkawai too. The rainforest, speedboats and the lift form some of the important junctures in the tense proceedings. Don 2: The King is Back is an Indian action thriller film directed by Farhan Akhtar. It is a sequel to the 2006 film, Don: The Chase Begins Again. It is the remake of the Amitabh Bachchan classic, the original DON in 1978.

In fact during our recent visit we came to know about many 'secrets' of the shooting from the local people involved. In fact most people we met in Langkawi are quite keen to see how it all comes on screen, this X'mas.



We have here an actual picture of the location in the rainforest, classed as a World Geopark by UNESCO for its unique geology and eco-systems, and one of the boats that SRK drives in the film!

LIMA 2011, the excitement is here!

LANGKAWI INTERNATIONAL MARITIME & AEROSPACE (LIMA) EXHIBITION
6 - 10 DECEMBER 2011 | LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA

The 11th Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (LIMA) exhibition, set to take place from 6th -10th December 2011 will have a new feel that is set to bolster this unique exhibition as a must attend show for aerospace and maritime companies. On the back of renewed optimism in defence spending, travel growth and airport development within ASEAN and Asia, LIMA’s new profile will maintain its strong reputation as a defence gathering whilst introducing a more aggressive commercial, civil aviation and airport focus.

Amongst the highlights are the Gulfstream G45 Business Jet, Bombardier, Cessna Caravan, A400M, Su-30MKM, F/A -18D, F-18 Super Hornet, MiG-29N, Super Lynx, Augusta A109, Mi-17 S&R Helicopter, Eurofighter Typhoon, AH6i Boeing and much more. LIMA 2009 held two years ago attracted nearly 400 leading defence companies, 60 countries being represented, 38,000 trade visitors, 400 trade journalists and 210 delegations. LIMA is fully supported by the Government of Malaysia and the Ministry of Defence with a host of other government ministries and agencies.
