MALACCA: Bollywood superstar Datuk Shah Rukh Khan is happy to be able keep his promise to shoot a movie here.

He is currently in Sungai Udang to shoot the sequel to his 2006 hit, Don.

He said he would spent several more days here with the 140 actors and crew members.

The movie, he said, was an action thriller in the same genre as the Bond movies.

“However, I play the villain but one which the women love,” he said after a luncheon with Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam yesterday.

The movie is set for worldwide release on Christmas Day.

Khan said filming for the RM48mil production would continue in Kuala Lumpur with the Petronas Twin Towers forming the backdrop for a sequence, adding that shooting would be completed in Langkawi.

The Bollywood heartthrob said he was also considering doing a romantic movie in Malacca.

“There are a lot of beautiful and romantic scenery in Malacca especially near the Malacca River,” he said.

Mohd Ali, who was accompanied by his wife Datin Seri Asmah Abdul Rahman, said the state was justified in conferring the Datukship title to the international superstar.

“He has helped promote Malacca and Malaysia through his movies,” he said.

Khan was conferred the Darjah Gemilang Seri Melaka which carries the title “Datuk” by Malacca Governor Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob in 2008.
