The announcement of ‘Don 3’ set fans trolling. Boasting two successful Shahrukh Khan-starrer titles, every fan was taken aback by this news from their beloved director, Farhan Akhtar. Fans were asking: why did the director change these aspects? Akhtar recently said that he was looking for a “next-generation actor” to play the part. And Ranveer Singh sure has the oodles of charm, mischief, and boundless energy that the role demands. Farhan Akhtar is sure that the character with Singh would have much uniqueness in it unlike the loud ones that he has gained accolades for.
The Stranger Turn: Ranveer Singh Gets the Baton
The media was shocked, and frenzy took over when news flashed that included Ranveer Singh in the hat where SRK should have been in the third installment of the Don series at this point. What was that reason or means with which Farhan Akhtar became forced to the change? Let’s see.

The Creative Synergy That Didn't Click
In an exclusive interview to YouTuber Raj Shamani, Farhan Akhtar revealed that he has interacted with Shah Rukh Khan several times and in one such brainstorming session, even penned down some gripping scenes. But then creative synergy doesn’t strike always. At times, the subject matter that can make one person sit up and excited by it, can go over another’s head. Farhan Akhtar revealed, “Either he was excited by something that I didn’t feel, or vice versa… and that happens.” Still, they could not find the magic.
The Quest for the Next-Gen Don
Farhan was contemplating a new approach to “Don 3”. In this charismatic character, he really needed a young next-gen actor who would bring fresh energy. And who else would it be but force of nature Ranveer Singh? Farhan Akhtar could see the brass embedded in Ranveer’s spirit, which would come out inherently. His frivolous spirit, along with boundless energy, was exactly what defined Don. There was so much that Ranveer had not tapped into. He felt that this role would put him in uncharted territories of what he is capable of delivering as an actor.
The Trial of Being Don
“Don” is not your average role; it is a mystery wrapped up in mystique and complexity. Farhan Akhtar emphasized that the role of Don plays out in his way. He must do the necessary charm but not too much as it would overpower his accompanying shadow. There is a kind of a denial; a kind of suppression of feeling that goes with being Don. Ranveer, with all his overactive glands which quickly made it such an adrenaline pumping exercise – to channel all that vivacity into a character who never shows anything other than what he wants to reveal. Audiences can expect to quite literally see Ranveer Singh in a new avataar, a shade darker, as he enters Don’s world.
The Other Routes: Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani
Curiously enough, Farhan Akhtar intentions were to some days cast Hrithik Roshan for the coveted role far before he bounced the idea off to Shahrukh Khan. Hrithik’s greek-god image, suaveness, and intense screen presence made him captivating. But Destiny had different plans and the next chapter went with Ranveer. The talented Kiara Adwani will create a promise to be a new captivating duo on screen.
And we eagerly look forward to “Don 3,” guessing truly that the movie franchise is not the legacy of the characters but belongs already to the actors inside them, with Shah Rukh Khan as the irreplaceable original Don, and now Ranveer Singh promises to change the game. The chase prevails, the intrigue deepens, and the curtain rises on a new era of crime, charisma, and cleverness.
