    In his blog, Bachchan shared trivia about 'Don'

    In his blog, Bachchan shared an interesting trivia, writing that when the movie's director Chandra Barot and writers Salim-Javed revealed the film's title, no distributor was willing to accept it, as "they all thought it to be named after the DAWN underwear...a popular brand during those times." He also added that Hollywood movie Godfather was "making a mark in films circles" at that time.
