Earlier today, Farhan Akhtar created a wave of astonishment with the unexpected revelation of ‘Don 3’. Following his formal declaration, the online community responded with a mix of opinions. Numerous followers of Shah Rukh Khan appeared disheartened, as rumors of Ranveer Singh taking over the leading role circulated on the internet. Presently, Farhan has definitely affirmed that the ‘Don’ legacy will be entrusted to a fresh face.
Farhan Akhtar took to his Twitter account to share an official statement. In the statement, he reflected on the privilege of collaborating with Shah Rukh Khan in two ‘Don’ films. Additionally, he addressed the introduction of a new actor who will be stepping into the superstar’s shoes for ‘Don 3’. A new era of Don begins in 2025, says Farhan Akhtar. He unveiled the announcement video for Don 3 on Tuesday. Ranveer Singh is set to take over the lead role from Shah Rukh Khan in this Don’s upcoming third installment.
Farhan Akhtar took to his Instagram and wrote, “In 1978, a character created by Salim-Javed and portrayed by Mr. Amitabh Bachchan with effortless elan, captured the imagination of theatergoers across the country. That enigmatic character was Don. In 2006, Don was reimagined and brought to life by Shah Rukh Khan in his own irresistibly charming way. From Don’s sardonic wit to his cool but menacing fury, Shah Rukh embodied his persona. As writer & director, I had a great time creating not one but two, Don films with Shah Rukh, and both experiences remain very close to my heart”.
“The time has now come to take the legacy of Don forward and joining us in this new interpretation will be an actor whose talent and versatility. I have long admired it. We hope that you will show him the love you have so graciously and generously shown to Mr. Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. A new era of Don begins in 2025”, he concluded.
Reportedly, the online unveiling of the Don 3 teaser is slated for this week, as per reliable sources. The team is eagerly poised to introduce Ranveer Singh as the new face of Don to the contemporary cinematic audience. Moreover, it’s been revealed that the Don 3 teaser will grace movie theaters during Independence Day week, coinciding with the release of Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol in the lead role.
Anticipated to exude an ultra-stylish demeanor, Ranveer is expected to infuse a novel perspective into the character of Don. Following the conclusion of his commitments in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Baiju Bawra, preparations are expected to kick off for this action-packed saga. Despite this, loyal Shah Rukh Khan enthusiasts remain dissatisfied with the prospect of Ranveer stepping into the Don franchise.
