There are rumours of Ranveer Singh taking over the Don franchise from Shah Rukh Khan. At a recent event, Zoya was asked about Don 3, and this is what she has to say
Shah Rukh Khan, Zoya Akhtar and Ranveer Singh.
The original Don was by Amitabh Bachchan in 1978 with Zeenat Aman. The film's dialogues are still so fresh in people's minds. One of the most-loved films of the Indian film industry was given a twist by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani through Don: The Chase Begins Again (2006). They chose Bollywood's Badshah Shah Rukh Khan for don's role, and now, Don has become a synonym to the actor.
This film's franchise was taken ahead with Don 2 (2011), again, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan in lead roles with Priyanka Chopra. Ever since fans have been anxiously waiting for its third instalment. Every month rumours of the film going on floors and others keep coming up.
