What did the report say?

“Ranveer Singh hasn’t walked out of Don 3 like the rumour mills claim. It’s actually an entirely different story,” the source said. “To start with, Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar offered him Don 3 after he had delivered three colossal flops. They stood by him even after Sanjay Leela Bhansali shelved Baiju Bawra because he was considered not saleable at the time.”

_”Don 3_ is the hottest franchise, and Ranveer was stepping into the legendary shoes of not just Shah Rukh Khan, but also Amitabh Bachchan. It is a dream role for any actor,” the source said.

Farhan Akhtar on Don 3

“The kind of script that we were writing, what I wanted to do with it… It’s too early to speak about it unfortunately so I can’t into into details but it needed this next generation actor in it,” Farhan said in a chat with Raj Shamani on his YouTube channel.

Explaining why he chose Ranveer as Don, Farhan said, “He is mischievous, just full of energy, which is what this needs and he is… I feel when it comes to this aspect of his performance, it’s still untapped. Like I don’t think he has done a role like this.”

As
