Amitabh Bachchan was 36 when Don was made in 1978, his dual role of Vijay and The Don still remembered as one of his coolest portrayals.
Khan, 40, has acknowledged being massively influenced by the cult film -- and even hinted in recent television portrayals that his tribute includes unforgettable dialogue like 'Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahin, namumkin hai.' Translated, that means: It is not just difficult to catch the Don, it's impossible.
Which might prove prophetic for the film itself. Then again, Khan also admits this version is a fun tribute, and can't even be compared to the original.
