New Delhi, Dec 13 (IANS) Shah Rukh Khan was upbeat about visiting Patna for the first time Tuesday to promote his upcoming film 'Don 2: The King Is Back'. But the plans had to be scrapped due to 'some security issue', according to the superstar.

'Was super excited with my first ever visit to Patna but district authorities said some security issue. Will come some other time. Damn!!!' Shah Rukh posted on micro-blogging site Twitter.

The movie's team kickstarted their multi-city promotion tour in non-metropolitan centres in India Tuesday.

Producer Ritesh Sidhwani also tweeted: 'Feeling sad couldn't make it to Patna. Was waiting to take off from Mumbai but was told that we cannot land in Patna. Next stop Nagpur!'

'Don 2: The King Is Back' is the much-awaited sequel to Farhan Akhtar's 2006 action thriller 'Don - The Chase Begins', which itself was a remake of the 1978 film 'Don'.

The movie, starring Shah Rukh, Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani, Om Puri, Sahil Shroff, Aly Khan and Nawwab Khan, will release Dec 23.
