Farhan Akhtar has finally shed light on why Ranveer Singh is stepping into Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic shoes for the third instalment of the Don franchise. In a recent chat with Faye D’Souza, Farhan explained that while Shah Rukh was initially considered for Don 3, the story’s evolution led to a different direction.

Farhan shared, “When I first started thinking about Don 3, I obviously thought of writing something with Shah Rukh in it. However, we couldn’t find the right place to take the story, and we couldn’t find common ground. So, I decided to rethink the film and delve deeper into what made Don, Don. That’s when Ranveer Singh felt like the perfect fit for the role.”
