Farhan Akhtar Drops Major Update On Ranveer Singh’s Don 3

In a recent interview with Filmfare, Farhan confirmed, “We start filming next year. That’s probably the biggest update that I can give you.” This statement reaffirms that the project is back on track after lingering rumours of delays or shelving.

There had been widespread speculation that Don 3 was shelved due to the lack of official announcements following its reveal in August 2023. However, Farhan’s confirmation confirms that the project is moving forward and is expected to enter production in 2026.

Ranveer Singh To Lead Don 3

The upcoming instalment signifies a new era for the franchise. Ranveer Singh will step into the iconic role previously played by Shah Rukh Khan in Don (2006) and Don 2 (2011). While Shah Rukh’s portrayal remains a beloved classic, the casting of Ranveer has sparked mixed reactions online. Fans are curious to see how he will interpret the character and bring his own energy to the role.

During a recent social media interaction, Farhan reassured fans, saying, “Next year I will start work on Don 3,” further confirming that the project is very much in the pipeline and not cancelled.

The Don franchise has seen three generations of actors embodying the anti-hero: Amitabh Bachchan in the original, Shah Rukh Khan in the reboot, and now Ranveer Singh. With production set to commence next year, Don 3 is poised to honour its legacy while exploring a new direction for the story.
