/> It looks like the senior and junior Don, Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, will battle it out at the boxoffice.

While Farhan Akhtar prepares to plunge into a sequel to his 2006 hit Don with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead, the Iranis who made the original Don in 1978 with Amitabh Bachchan are all set to do their own take on the film with AB reprising the role.

Speaking on the subject for the first time, the Big B says, "Yes, they (Nariman Irani's family) met me some time back. I'm yet to hear the script."

However Farhan Akhtar seems to be completely in the dark regarding this parallel project. "I've no idea of this. We've very close relations with the Irani family.

We've been very clear with each other. When they gave us the rights for remaking Don they gave us the right to exploit the movie for the next 3-4 years. We had even told them we might be doing a sequel.

And they were really cool about it. They didn't seem interested in going back and doing anything Don-related. From the outset they've been straight with us. I don't think they'd just go around announcing another movie."

But with the Iranis having approached Mr Bachchan, a clash of creative interest between the two Dons featuring the Big B and Shah Rukh Khan seems inevitable.
