MUMBAI: Anil Kapoor‘s Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and Shah Rukh Khan‘s Don 2 will release on 23 December.

While the release of Don 2 is as per schedule, that of the Anil Kapoor film has been rescheduled. It was earlier to release on 16 December but the producers felt that the Christmas-New Year window would be an ideal time for the film‘s release.

In Don 2, Khan plays an accomplice to a drugs overlord who is being chased by police in several different countries while Kapoor‘s role in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is being kept under wraps even as the filmmakers have denied that he is playing a villain in the rebooted action franchise.
