Actor Shahrukh Khan-starrer Don 2: The King is Back is all set to be turned into a video game to allow fans to get a personal feel of action. Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar of Excel Entertainment have joined hands with Ganeshshastra and Mango games, two leading gaming companies in India, in their bid to make people aware about the film. "I feel gaming is a good platform to tell stories of a film and about the characters through this medium. Today, gaming is a biggest platform. They make games according to films. I hope more and more films make use of this growing platform," Shahrukh told reporters here. For 'his magnum opus Ra.One', Shahrukh had used the gaming platform. Ganeshshastra has developed a game where players can get to play Shahrukh's character and do action sequences similar to those enacted in the film. The game will be launched in March next year. The other game, developed by Mango Games, will be launched on Facebook on December 23, the day the film releases in cinema houses. "The idea of making a game based on the film's narrative really excited me. It is an interesting way for people to get to do some real action and adventure," Farhan Akhtar, the director and producer of the film, said. "The game looks as real as the film and its characters. This is the best way to keep the hysteria going among the fans," producer Ritesh Sidhwani said. Don 2: 'The King is Back is a sequel to the 2006 film, Don: 'The Chase Begins Again', and also stars Priyanka Chopra, Om Puri, Boman Irani and Kunal Kapoor.
