Farhan Akhtar himself is set to portray Don after Ranveer Singh's exit from 'Don 3'?

'Don 3' has become the hot topic of the entertainment world right now. After Ranveer Singh's exit from the film, his reported tussle with filmmaker-producer Farhan Akhtar has come out in the open. Apart from that, rumors also suggested that the director re-approached Shah Rukh Khan for the role, but on a condition. Now, as per the latest development, Farhan himself is considering leading the movie. Let's learn more about it.

Farhan Akhtar is considering playing Don

According to the Deccan Chronicle, reports of Farhan Akhtar stepping away as the director of 'Don 3' are false. Earlier, it was reported that Shah Rukh Khan agreed to reprise his role as Don in the film but demanded to get Atlee on board as the director.




A source told the publication that 'Don' is Farhan's franchise, so why would he back out from the project as the director?

The insider further rubbished the reports about Shah Rukh Khan and his Atlle demand. The person stated that the filmmaker didn't approach SRK after Ranveer Singh's exit. As per the report, Farhan is considering playing the iconic character in the film himself.

More about 'Don 3'

The first glimpse of 'Don 3' was released on the internet in August 2023. The makers had roped Ranveer Singh in to play the iconic role and carry on the legacy. At that time, the casting choice received mixed reactions from the audience. However, it seems it didn't go as planned.

And after the 'Dhurandhar' release, reports of Ranveer Singh exiting the project surfaced. And now, Singh and the makers—Farhan and Ritesh Sidhwani—are against each other, as the producers have demanded Rs 40 crore in compensation, which they spent on the film's pre-production. The Producers Guild India will soon table a meeting between both parties to resolve the issue amicably.
