About Don 3
After the massive success of Don (2006) and Don 2 with Shah Rukh Khan, the makers announced Don 3 with Ranveer Singh. But after the record-breaking success of Dhurandhar, Singh reportedly parted ways from the project to focus on his upcoming movie, Pralay, with director Jai Mehta.
Hrithik Roshan’s work front
As for Hrithik Roshan, the actor is all set to star in Krrish 4, which will also mark his directorial debut. Rakesh Roshan exclusively informed Pinkvilla that he is passing the baton of directing Krrish 4 to his son. Hrithik has lived, breathed, and dreamt about this franchise since its inception with Rakesh. Hence, he couldn’t be prouder to see his actor son wear the director’s hat for a film that means the world to their family.
After acting and direction, Hrithik will also be stepping into production with his company, HRX Films. The actor has already announced Storm as his first project. Helmed by Ajitpal Singh, the movie will reportedly star Parvathy Thiruvothu, Alaya F, Srishti Shrivastava, Rrama Sharma, Rajit Kapur, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Saba Azad.
