DON team comes together on the small screen
Much before Farhan Akhtar's 'Don' hits the screen, the star cast of the film have decided to keep their fans happy by making a small screen appearance at the least. Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor, all the three have now faced the camera and have made a way into your living rooms. Yes, you read it right as the three stars have shot for the latest Pepsi commercial where SRK plays a common man looking forward to installation of PEPSI TV at his home while both the pretty ladies play PEPSI representatives. Colorful and breezy, just like most of Pepsi commercials [with SRK's 'sapera' act being an exception], it features SRK as a perky youngster, Priyanka as a sweet'n'nice girl while Kareena appearing as a hotty with an attitude. A good impression with the very first strike from the team of DON!
