Gets the hang of driving a left-hand drive vehicle (the steering wheel is on the left) in just three hours

Priyanka Chopra is known for picking up a new skill with almost every film of hers.

While for the first Don she took up the challenge of getting trained for martial arts, in the sequel, Don 2 - The Chase Begins, she had to learn how to drive a left-hand drive or an LHD (all cars adapted for Indian roads have the steering on the right-hand side and hence are called right-hand drives). And she did it in three hours flat!

Don 2 has many thrilling action sequences. One of them involves a car chase between Priyanka and Shah Rukh on the busy streets of Berlin. Driving on the right side of the road took getting used to, considering we drive in India on the left hand side.

Short notice

Says a source from the production, "Although she knows how to drive, it takes time to get accustomed to an LHD. And to add to Priyanka's stress, she was informed that the car chase sequence was to be shot in the afternoon, so she had only a few hours to get it right. She rose to the challenge.

Along with some stunt assistants, she took off for a deserted stretch in Berlin and picked up how to drive an LHD in just three hours."

Flourish-ing performance

Initially she was a bit nervous but when they began filming the chase sequence, she performed brilliantly and did it with a flourish and minus any mishaps.

Don 2 producer Riteish Sidhwani says, "Priyanka had to be familiar with a left-hand drive as that is what was required by the action director and she has done some amazing precision driving."
