Actor Kunal Kapoor, who plays a key role in Farhan Akhtar's much-awaited film Don 2: The King is Back, says the film has got a promising reception.

'The response has been superb. We expected a good response, but I think it's been far beyond anyone's expectations,' the 34-year-old actor said here at a special screening of the film.

Don 2: The King Is Back released in 41 countries Friday, and hit screens in Britain Thursday.

"Everyone liked it. I think you know once the movie works, people like things about the movie, then they like everything about the movie," said Kunal, who has shared screen space with superstar Shah Rukh Khan for the first time in the movie.

Kunal made his Bollywood debut with M.F. Hussain's Meenaxi: A tale of two cities, but tasted success with Rang De Basanti the following year. He has worked in films like Hattrick, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, Aaja Nachle besides making special appearances in Bachna Ae Haseenon and Welcome To Sajjanpur, and was last seen in "Lamhaa".
