Don 3, the much-awaited sequel to the legendary franchise, is finally ready to roll into production, with Ranveer Singh to play the lead role. The news was earlier broken through News18 Showsha, and it has created a lot of buzz, particularly after the baton was handed over from the legendary Shah Rukh Khan to the energetic Ranveer Singh. While some fans were skeptical about whether Ranveer could do justice to the role, many are eager to see him bring his unique energy and style to this high-octane franchise.
Delays, but Progress Is Being Made
Though Don 3 was originally expected to begin production in 2024, the film faced multiple delays. One of the primary reasons was Farhan Akhtar’s dedication to 120 Bahadur, which was holding up his plan for the sequel of Don. But now that the shooting of 120 Bahadur is almost over, the production of Don 3 will finally kick off. Sources close to the project have confirmed that the first schedule is set for September 2025, and Ranveer Singh and Vikrant Massey, who will be playing the villain, will be part of the initial shoot.
Ranveer and Vikrant: A Reunion of Stars
Ranveer and Vikrant Massey fans will be happy to know that Don 3 will be their reunion since their Dil Dhadakne Do appearances. The pair have also shared the screen together in Lootera (2013), but here’s the first time they will be seen locking horns in an action-packed high-stakes drama. Insiders report that the film will have stylized action sequences, including some hard-hitting bike races between Ranveer’s Don and Vikrant’s villain. The fans can look forward to a visual treat as the two stars clash on the silver screen.
The Female Lead: Who Will It Be?
One of the most discussed aspects of Don 3 is the enigma surrounding the heroine. Although officially nothing has been confirmed, two names are up for speculation currently: Sharvari and Kriti Sanon. Both actresses are contenders for a major role, but which one will take the part remains to be seen. Sources indicate that the choice remains uncertain and that it is not clear if the female lead will be included in the first shooting schedule next month.
What’s Next for Vikrant and the Franchise?
Interestingly, Vikrant Massey’s shoot schedule for Don 3 affects his other projects, particularly Dostana 2. If Don 3 goes on floors in September, Vikrant will have to reschedule his Dostana 2 for Karan Johar’s film. This scheduling has put another exciting element of suspense and uncertainty into the next few months.
