The internet went into a frenzy when Farhan Akhtar dropped the bombshell that Ranveer Singh would be stepping into Shah Rukh Khan’s shoes for the highly anticipated Don 3. With the powerhouse trio of Farhan Akhtar, Pushkar-Gayatri, and Ranveer Singh onboard, expectations are soaring sky-high. And let’s not forget the addition of the talented Kiara Advani as the leading lady, promising an electrifying chemistry on screen. However, it seems like there’s a twist in the tale as plans for the movie’s production are undergoing a shake-up and we know the reason!
As per a report from Times of India, Farhan Akhtar recently shared in an interview that he’s gearing up to kickstart filming for a new project in July, where he’ll take on the lead role, giving his undivided attention to this endeavor. Details about this upcoming venture remain under wraps for now. Meanwhile, insiders close to ‘Don 3’ production disclosed the team’s struggle in locking down the antagonist role. Despite earlier buzz suggesting Emraan Hashmi’s involvement, the actor refuted these claims on social media. Consequently, the writers have returned to the drawing board to enrich the antagonist’s character, infusing it with more depth and intrigue. With these updates, the start of ‘Don 3’ filming in August seems improbable, especially with Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone’s impending parenthood in September. Consequently, the project is reportedly postponed until late 2024.
I eagerly await Ranveer’s return to the set with a bang after his paternity leave, bringing his trademark energy and charisma to the screen once again. Here’s to seeing him dazzle us with his performances and ignite the screen with his undeniable talent!
