19th May 2023, Mumbai: The third installment of Don, which has been highly awaited, has been in the headlines for a while. Producer Ritesh Sidhwani recently stated that SRK’s return as Don is very much in the works while fans waited impatiently for additional information. However, according to the most recent development, Shah Rukh Khan has apparently left the project, and Ranveer Singh will take his place. You did really hear correctly!
Co-producer Farhan Akhtar had previously informed The Unversed that the script is currently being revised and will be ready shortly. Later, everyone was shocked by SRK’s decision to leave the franchise, which caused quite a stir on social media.
Ranveer Singh has been cast in Don 3’s third installment, according to the most recent News18 story. Shah Rukh Khan has already been apprised of the change in casting. It was already reported that Ranveer would star in Don 3. The most recent media story, however, has only now verified the same. Ranveer, who has previously worked with Excel Entertainment, is prepared to reunite with the company.
A source close to the development revealed to News18, “Following Shah Rukh Khan’s exit, the makers of Don 3 were looking for a popular and bankable name who could take the Don legacy ahead. And they have finally zeroed in on Ranveer. This association has borne fruit in the past and it will be no surprise if the collaboration proves to be another runway hit. We’re waiting to see how fans of the Don franchise react to Ranveer’s casting considering Shah Rukh won over everyone with his charismatic portrayal of Don.”
There hasn’t been any proof of this as of yet. We’ll watch for a formal announcement from the creators.
