Actor Zeenat Aman recently took to Instagram to revisit a memorable scene from the cult classic film 'Don,' which released in 1978. Co-starring alongside Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, Aman described the wheelchair scene as 'awfully difficult,' a sentiment reflecting the physical challenge it posed during filming.

The original 'Don,' directed by Chandra Barot, became the third highest-grossing Indian film of its time. It left a lasting impact on Bollywood, inspiring remakes with Shah Rukh Khan in the titular role and Priyanka Chopra Jonas as Roma—the role originally played by Aman.

Farhan Akhtar, who directed the remakes, is reportedly working on another installment. Reports of actor Ranveer Singh's withdrawal from the upcoming film due to creative differences have surfaced. The original 'Don' drew partial inspiration from the 1977 film 'Chhailla Babu,' showcasing Rajinikanth.
