Priyanka Sushmita Sen in, Priyanka Chopra out from Don's sequel

The climax of Farhan Akhtar's Don-The chase Begins Again, had the Don (SRK) in a surprising twist to the story, leaving behind Roma (Priyanka Chopra) and instead going off with Anita (Ishaa Koppiker). Though the Don goes off with Ishaa in the sequel he will be seen with the statuesque Sushmita Sen, because Farhan is planning to take Ms. Sen instead of continuing with Priyanka Chopra. The reasoning being that Sushmita with her tall and well toned physique will be able to do stunts better and also look good carrying off difficult stunts.

Sushmita was seen doing few stunts in Samay (2003) where she played an ACP and in Aankhen when she trains the three blind men to rob a bank. But Farhan had this to say "I am working on the sequel to Don, besides Shah Rukh Khan I haven't thought of anyone yet. The script is still in the beginning stage. I don't know who will be in the film".

Priyanka's secretary Chand Mishra said "We haven't been approached for the film, so there's nothing to say now. She has completed her work in God Tussi Great Ho, she is finishing her work in Love Story 2050 and the climax of Drona has to be completed, it got held up because of Abhishek's wedding."

Susmita Replacements are a part of any actor's career. Priyanka replaced Aishwarya in Bluff Master, Aishwarya stepped into Priyanka's place in Umrao Jaan and now Sushmita will stand in Priyanka's place in the sequel to Don.

Funnily Farhan Akhtar who will be seen as an actor in Anand Surapur's Fakir, was a replacement for Saif Ali Khan in the film. So the replacement game continues. Sushmita has only one film Dulha Mil Gaya. It would definitely be a good career move for Sushmita, one she needs good films with A-list makers and presently she is Shah Rukh Khan's favourite costars.

Don ke saath kaun, time will tell.
