Don 3: Farhan Akhtar calls Ranveer Singh ‘amazing’; speaks on divided opinions: “We went through the same emotional process when Shah Rukh Khan did it and everyone was like, ‘OMG, how can you replace Mr. Bachchan?’”

Over a week ago, Farhan Akhtar announced that Ranveer Singh is ready to step into the new interpretation of this larger-than-life character, Don, in one of the most awaited action franchises of 2025. Announcing Don 3, which is touted to be a reboot, the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani actor is excited to take on the iconic role. Farhan recently revealed that he is so pumped about it as well.

Don 3: Farhan Akhtar calls Ranveer Singh ‘amazing’; speaks on divided opinions: “We went through the same emotional process when Shah Rukh Khan did it and everyone was like, ‘OMG, how can you replace Mr. Bachchan?’”

In an interview with BBC Asian Network, Farhan Akhtar 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. You know about the thing that you’re filling some big shoes. But we went through the same emotional process when Shah Rukh Khan did it and everyone was like, ‘Oh my God, how can you replace Mr. Bachchan?’ That whole thing happened then. And 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 gonna do that. Yeah. So he’s gonna do a great job. I think the responsibility is more of mine now to make sure that the script of the film works out the way I imagined.

He added, “The filming for Don (3) starts in 2025. We start in January of 2025. So there’s some time away.” When asked what makes a good Don, he said, “Self-confidence, flamboyance and the belief and the ability to do anything that your mind is set on.”

In recent times, ever since the announcement, fans have been divided about not having Shah Rukh Khan in the third installment. The original character was played by Amitabh Bachchan in the 80s followed by SRK in the 2000s in Don and Don 2. However, Ranveer Singh is well aware of the responsibility that comes along with the role and he hopes that he can deliver a memorable performance if given a chance by the audience.

Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar of Excel Entertainment, the film is scheduled to release in 2025.
