Over the past few years, fans have been eagerly waiting for Farhan Akhtar and Shah Rukh Khan to collaborate again for one of their most-anticipated franchises, Don. While the third part of the movie has been in the works for quite some time now, earlier it was reported by Pinkvilla that the actor had opted out of it. He wanted to focus more on doing “commercial films that cater to the universal section of audience.” Later reports of Ranveer Singh replacing SRK’s don, started doing rounds which had left the fans disappointed.
Well, it seems like the makers are eager to take this new collaboration forward. According to multiple media reports, Ranveer will be headlining the next Don movie and carrying forward the legacy of the beloved franchise established by Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. As per a tweet by an industry insider, the franchise will be going under a makeover. The makers are planning to make the official announcement on the actor’s birthday, next week. While a small section of the internet is happy and excited, the majority of them have conveyed their anger. ALSO READ: OMG! Shah Rukh Khan EXITS Don 3?

I'm not a fan of SRK or Ranveer, but #Don was completely for SRK the way the character was portrayed. Even those who are not fans of SRK also like his character in #DON. Ranveer has acting power, but SRK's body language is the best in this role." #Don3

ALL THESE YEARS WE WANTED D3 FOR SRK, NOT REVAMPED. THIS IS EXACTLY OPPOSITE OF WHAT WE ASKED FOR.

On the other hand, Farhan Akhtar’s movie Jee Le Zaraa with Priyanka Chopra, Alia and Katrina Kaif is currently under the pre-production stage.
