In 2023, it was officially announced that Ranveer Singh would step into the lead role in the third installment of the Don franchise. Titled Don 3, the film would have marked Farhan Akhtar’s return to the director’s chair after helming the 2006 reboot and its 2011 sequel starring Shah Rukh Khan.
Later, NDTV revealed that the much-anticipated project was scheduled to go on floors in 2026. Given Ranveer Singh’s incredible comeback with Aditya Dhar’s blockbuster action-thriller Dhurandhar, the timing felt ideal for him to take on the mantle of Don in the iconic franchise.
However, in a surprising twist, a recent Times of India report suggests that Ranveer Singh may have exited Don 3, with the makers reportedly seeking ₹40 crore in compensation for pre-production expenses. If the actor has indeed parted ways with the project and does not return in the future, here are three Bollywood stars who could potentially take on the iconic role.
1. Hrithik Roshan
Earlier reports have suggested that after collaborating with Hrithik Roshan on Lakshya, Farhan Akhtar had initially floated the idea of rebooting Don with him. However, the project eventually moved forward with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. Hrithik Roshan later made a brief cameo appearance in the Don sequel, further linking him to the franchise.
