Farhan Akthar: 'Don 3? I am not saying no

As an actor, he has tasted super success with Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD). Now director Farhan Akhtar is gearing up for his upcoming action extravaganza, Don 2. And as the film gets ready for a Diwali release, he accepts "the next few months are going to be important."
"We had a great time making it. For us, the best part was that we didn't have to stick to a certain storyline. We had all the freedom to go out and experiment with our fantasies. And one thing is for sure, it has lot more action than Don - The Chase Begins," says Farhan.
And since the Don 2 promo has received rave reviews, is Don 3 on next? "You know, I didn't think of making a sequel. But now, it's ready. So, I have realised that it's pointless to make permanent statements. And who knows, something else might excite me enough to take it up. Never say never," he says.
Interestingly, even as ZNMD works wonders at box-office, Farhan is yet to work with any other production house besides his own. "I am in discussion with a few producers. In the past too, I agreed to do a few films outside Excel (Entertainment) but nothing worked out eventually. As long as I get a sincere and honest vibe from the other person, I can take up the role," says the 37-year-old filmmaker-actor.
Lastly, since he has already worked with Aamir and Shah Rukh Khan (in Dil Chahta Hai and Don films respectively), is Salman Khan next on the wish-list? "It can only happen if we get an appropriate project for him. Salman is amazing at what he does. But it's all about the right film. It can't be a forced alliance," smiles Farhan.
