Farhan Akhtar has announced that Ranveer Singh would be stepping into the iconic role of ‘Don’, replacing Shah Rukh Khan for the third installment of the series.<\/p>\n

The announcement came after reports surfaced that SRK had refused to return for the third part. The Pathaan star’s decision not to reprise the role was reportedly based on the belief that he had given his all to the character in the previous two films.<\/p>\n

With SRK’s departure from the franchise, Farhan Akhtar had no choice but to search for a new actor to take up the mantle, which ultimately led to Ranveer Singh. However, netizens are not fond of the Gully Boy star taking up such an iconic role.<\/p>\n\t\t

Farhan Akhtar confirmed Shah Rukh Khan’s exit from the franchise in a statement released on Tuesday. He introduced Ranveer Singh as the new addition to the “Don” universe, hinting at a fresh interpretation of the character.<\/p>\n

Farhan acknowledged the challenge of introducing a new Don but drew a comparison to the changing profiles of characters like James Bond.<\/p>\n

Farhan’s statement read,<\/p>\n

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. 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The upcoming film is expected to serve as a reboot of the franchise, carrying forward the legacy of the character while introducing a fresh perspective.<\/p>\n

As fans anticipate the new era of “Don” with Ranveer Singh at the helm, the debate over the choice of actor continues to stir conversations across social media platforms.<\/p>\n
