The director of DON 3, Farhan Akhtar, recently announced the new lead actor of the film through his Instagram post. The Don franchise has received massive love previously and the audience were eager to know the release of the next film. But after the announcement of the upcoming project by the filmmaker, people have mixed reactions about Ranveer Singh and are uncertain if he would be able to step in the shoes of Amitabh Bachchan & Shah Rukh Khan, and continue the franchise with the same panache. 

In a recent interview, Farhan talked about Ranveer being in the film and went on to say that he is very excited about it and looking forward to the film. The filmmaker said, “I’m just really looking forward to get it going. I mean Ranveer is amazing. He’s great for the part. He’s also as you can imagine, really excited and really nervous, about the thing you’re filling some big shoes before you. But we went through the same emotional process when Shah Rukh did it and everyone was like ‘Oh my God, how can you replace Mr. Bachchan?.’ That whole thing happened then. It really is about an actor coming in and owning the part and making it really like, giving it their style and their flair. And he has that, he has that in spades. So, he’s going to do a great job. I think the responsibility is more mine now to make sure that the script and the film works out the way I imagine.”

Don 3 is set to release in January 2025.
