Differences with the original Don.

There were some main wrinkles:- Farhan Akhtar introduced to differentiate this version from the original. First, DeSilva, instead of Malik, is revealed to be Vardhan. And second, that Don was never actually replaced with Vijay, and had manipulated everyone else from the start by actually killing Vijay and putting himself in his place (Don was never caught in the movie as well). Another thing is that in the old Don, Jasjeet had two kids while in the new Don, Jasjeet has one son. Also, a change in jasjeet’s character was that he was a performer in a circus in the older version of the movie, whereas, in this version he was a computer engineer (systems security).In the original Kamini’s role(played by Helen) is more important.
