After months of speculation, Farhan Akhtar has finally confirmed that Don 3 is set to begin filming this year. The filmmaker, who has been tight-lipped about the project, addressed fans’ curiosity and put all rumours to rest. According to Hindustan Times, he revealed, “I am not dodging any questions. Don 3 is starting this year, and 120 Bahadur will release at the end of the year.”
The announcement has sent excitement levels soaring, especially after the reveal that Ranveer Singh will be stepping into the iconic role, taking over from Shah Rukh Khan. With Akhtar at the helm, expectations are sky-high for this latest installment of the action-packed franchise.
What To Expect From Don 3?
While details about the plot remain under wraps, Don 3 is expected to maintain the franchise’s signature high-stakes action, intense storytelling and stylish cinematography. Ranveer Singh’s casting as the new Don has already generated mixed reactions, but fans are eager to see his take on the role. Given his past performances, Singh is expected to bring his own charm and intensity to the legendary character.
A Big Year For Farhan Akhtar
Apart from Don 3, Farhan Akhtar also revealed that 120 Bahadur, another project under his production banner, will be releasing by the end of the year. This suggests that the filmmaker is gearing up for a busy schedule, balancing both directing and production responsibilities.
The Don franchise, which originally starred Amitabh Bachchan in the 1978 classic, was successfully rebooted by Farhan Akhtar with Shah Rukh Khan in 2006 and its sequel in 2011. Now, with a fresh face leading the film, it remains to be seen how Akhtar reinvents the action thriller for a new era.
