Farhan Akhtar on 'Don 3': It's not fair to raise expectations

It’s been over six years since ‘Don 2: The Chase Continues’ (2006), while the filmmaker had also dropped major hints about ‘Don 3’ in the climax, there has been no development on that front since then. But now the project seems to have been set in motion. As per reports, Farhan Akhtar will play the role of the cop in the film.

A source revealed, “He had bounced the idea off to Shah Rukh Khan, who liked it. Farhan had taken a break from acting and channelised all his energy into developing the script for this film of the 'Don' franchise. He has finally locked the script and things are moving in the right direction.”

The source also said, “While Farhan has directed ‘Don’ and ‘Don 2’, the next installment will also have him starring in it. Farhan will also act in this film. He will play a desi top cop to Shah Rukh’s Don. Since a portion of the film will be set in India, Farhan will be seen donning the policeman’s uniform in the film.”

The source also revealed, “The storyline is such that it doesn’t need Priyanka’s character. It’s likely to have a new cast, which will be locked soon.”

The source concluded by saying, “Shah Rukh Khan will be finishing Salute and then get to this film straight away. It is likely to release in 2020.”


Looks like Farhan Akhtar has now put an end to all the rumours. He tweeted:
