Shah Rukh Khan, who has been doing hardcore stunts for Don 2: The King is Back, says it's only the conviction of his fans that keeps him going.

The actor says he did have initial jitters to jump off a 300-foot building. "Honestly, yes — it was very scary and any normal person would get jitters. We all had body doubles, but [director] Farhan [Akhtar] wanted me to do this specific fall myself. I had to jump from a building and when I was standing on the edge I had only two thoughts that crossed my mind," Khan said.

"Firstly, that my audience believes that I can fly, so I also believe I can. Secondly, why am I doing this and not some romantic film? I coaxed Farhan to do it on my behalf also, but I actually forgot that he had sky dived some 99 times and has no fear of such stunts."
