Shah Rukh Khan's Don 2 to have international look

The news that Shah Rukh Khan is going to be the lead actor for Don2 has already been doing the rounds for quite some time. And now there is news that the movie which is expected to release in December this year will be having an all international look and feel.

While one of the idea is to get it recognized globally, the other main one is that it can stand to challenge Tom Cruise`s 'Mission Impossible 4'. MI 4 is also set to release around that time only.

And the picture clearly shows the financial might of the star as well as the producer. Take for example a scene from the movie where a shot required use of an expensive camera. But the car scene which was shot in Berlin at a very steep height saw the camera damaging and the car also breaking into pieces.

The good part is nobody got hurt in the accident. That is why a huge budget was required that left many of Indian films far behind. And to give to the movie the natural feel, both Farhan and SRK studied the lifestyle of international crime lords.

Don Kirshner, Rock Producer Dies At 77

Don Kirshner, Rock Producer and Promoter, Dies at 77

Don Kirshner, who guided the course of Brill Building and bubblegum pop in the 1950s and ’60s as a music publisher and promoter, and later served as an Ed Sullivan for 1970s artists like Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Kiss and the Ramones with his weekly program “Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert” on television, died on Monday in Boca Raton, Fla. He was 77. The cause was heart failure.

Born in the Bronx, Mr. Kirshner entered the music business in the mid-1950s, writing commercial jingles with Bobby Darin, whom he had met in a Washington Heights candy shop as Robert Cassotto. When Mr. Darin went on to fame as a singer in 1958 with “Splish Splash,” Mr. Kirshner assumed a powerful role behind the scenes with his publishing company Aldon, which he founded with Al Nevins.

Aldon published songs by many of the classic songwriters of the Brill Building era, like Neil Sedaka and the teams of Carole King and Gerry Coffin (“Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” “The Loco-Motion”) and Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil (“You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” written with Phil Spector). As a producer and impresario, Mr. Kirshner was also responsible for putting together the songs for two manufactured pop groups on television: the Monkees and the Archies. Mr. Nevins died in 1965.

From 1973 to 1981 Mr. Kirshner was the producer and host of “Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert” on ABC, a live show that opened with a performance by the Rolling Stones and had appearances by Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers, David Bowie and many others.

He is survived by his wife, Sheila; his children Ricky and Daryn; and five grandchildren.

“We strongly believe that financial advisors will respond well to Coach Shula’s reputation, both on and off the field, for winning, leadership, integrity and honor, which will help cement the firm’s reputation as a leading independent broker-dealer,” Summit Chairman and CEO Marshall Leeds said in the release.

Summit shares were down 3 cents to 82 cents in afternoon trading. The 52-week high was $1.05 on Aug. 4. The 52-week low was 35 cents on Jan. 13, 2010.
