Don 2 premiere attracts entertainment biggies
The premiere of the film in Karachi was attended by various celebrities from Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
KARACHI:
It was a cold and windy afternoon in Karachi when a potpourri of celebrities flocked to the Atrium Cinema to attend the premiere of Farhan Akhtar’ Don 2 (3D). Half of the mall-runners were dressed as prisoners in yellow jumpsuits while the other half were clad in black with toy guns in their hands. The entrance of Atrium was designed like a jail through which celebrities walked after attending the red carpet, setting the perfect mood for a film like Don 2.
Celebrities ranging from PTV icons Behroze Sabzwari to Rubina Ashraf to pop singers Hassan Jahangir and Faakhir, actors Humayun Saeed and Faisal Qureshi and VJs from Mani to Mathira, were spotted at Atrium.
Surprisingly and much to our delight, the film started on time and the celebrities put on their 3D glasses to watch some great action sequences by Bollywood’s Priyanka Chopra. Additionally, the phenomenal one-liners by Shahrukh Khan and a classy dance number spiced up the film.
Sharing his views regarding the premiere, Nadeem Mandviwalla, Managing Director of Mandviwalla Entertainment, said, “Don 2 was perhaps one of the most awaited movies of the year. The fact that the film features the iconic character Don played by SRK is enough to make Pakistanis crave watching it on the big screen. Coincidently, today also marks the first anniversary of Atrium Cinemas and starting from this day, we will be celebrating a week full of new and exciting events.”
Don 2 is notches above its prequel, as the film has clearly pushed the standards in terms of stylistic arrangements. Kudos to the director for pulling off such a complete piece of pure entertainment with trendsetting brilliance.
The film was released worldwide on December 23 and is being distributed by Mandviwalla Entertainment and Tehulka Film Entertainment in Pakistan. It is being projected in 2D and 3D and is showing all over Pakistan on around 40 screens.
