The buzz around the third installment of the popular ‘Don’ franchise has been steadily growing. Since Bollywood filmmaker Farhan Akhtar announced ‘Don 3’ last year, excitement among fans has only increased. The movie, featuring Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani in lead roles, has been the talk of the town. But despite the anticipation, the start of production has seen several delays, leaving fans wondering when they will finally see the next chapter of this action-packed series.
Reason Behind the Delay of ‘Don 3’ Shooting
One of the key reasons for the delay in the production of ‘Don 3’ is Farhan Akhtar’s involvement in his other project, ‘Bahadur’. This has led to the shooting of ‘Don 3’ being pushed back several times. According to a report from News 18, the film is now expected to start shooting in March next year. The original plan was to begin shooting earlier this year, but it was postponed to ensure that everything was perfect for this highly anticipated movie.
Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani’s Packed Schedules
Both Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani are currently involved in other major projects. Ranveer Singh is busy working on Aditya Dhar’s upcoming film, and he is also enjoying time with his family after recently welcoming a daughter with Deepika Padukone. Balancing work and personal life, Ranveer has been making time for his new role as a father.
On the other hand, Kiara Advani is working on another blockbuster, ‘War 2’, alongside Hrithik Roshan and Junior NTR. With both stars fully engaged in their commitments, the delay in ‘Don 3’ shooting seems to have given them some breathing space to wrap up their ongoing projects.
Ranveer Singh Takes Over Shah Rukh Khan’s Iconic Role
One of the most talked-about aspects of ‘Don 3’ is the casting change. Ranveer Singh is stepping into the shoes of Shah Rukh Khan, who played the lead role in the previous ‘Don’ films. This decision stirred mixed reactions among fans. While some welcomed the fresh casting, loyal fans of Shah Rukh Khan expressed their disappointment. Farhan Akhtar’s decision to cast Ranveer brought a lot of attention to the movie, and all eyes are on how Ranveer will handle the role of the charismatic Don.
The first schedule for the movie was originally set to begin in August 2023, but Farhan Akhtar announced that the shooting would now be pushed back to 2025. The extended delay has only fueled fans’ anticipation even more, with the audience eager to see Ranveer Singh’s take on the iconic character.
Recap: The Legacy of the ‘Don’ Franchise
The ‘Don’ franchise has been a significant part of Bollywood since the release of the first film in 2006. Shah Rukh Khan played the lead role in both ‘Don’ and its sequel, ‘Don 2: The King is Back’, which released in 2011. Both movies were box office successes, cementing Shah Rukh Khan’s portrayal of the criminal mastermind Don. Directed and produced by Farhan Akhtar, the second movie also featured a star-studded cast, including Priyanka Chopra, Boman Irani, and Lara Dutta.
‘Don 2’ was a major hit and became the third-highest-grossing Hindi film of 2011. Over the years, the movie received several awards, adding to the franchise’s legacy. With Ranveer Singh now leading ‘Don 3’, expectations are high for the film to carry forward the legacy in a fresh direction.
With the production set to begin next year, fans will have to wait a little longer to see how ‘Don 3’ unfolds. Despite the delays, the excitement surrounding the film remains strong, and audiences are eager to see the on-screen chemistry between Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani for the first time.
