Farhan Akhtar will complete 25 years in film direction this year. And he will complete 18 years in acting. It has been 15 years since he last directed and was gearing up for
Don 3 with Ranveer Singh before the actor walked out. Amid the matter FWICE is intervening into, Akhtar has signed a new film as an actor.
If a report by Mid-day is supposed to be believed, Aamir Khan and Ashutosh Gowariker are reuniting 25 years after Lagaan. The plot is set in the historical backdrop of India's Partition, the film is expected to trace the journey of Lala Amarnath, independent India’s first cricket captain.
A source said, "Even though it's an extended cameo, Farhan’s role is emotionally pivotal to the narrative. He plays Lala Amarnath's close friend, who remains in Pakistan after the Partition. The film isn’t just about cricket; it’s about friendship during one of the most turbulent moments in the subcontinent’s history. Ashutosh has asked Farhan to consider the role, but it’s not locked yet."
The Don 3 fallout and fiasco
The long-simmering controversy surrounding Don 3 has taken another dramatic turn. Filmmaker Farhan Akhtar has reportedly approached the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) with a formal complaint against Ranveer Singh over the actor’s alleged exit from the highly anticipated franchise film.
According to reports, FWICE is now set to review the matter and announce its decision during a press conference scheduled for Monday, May 25.
The dispute stems from reports that Ranveer Singh, who had officially been announced as the new face of the
Don franchise, stepped away from the project after months of development work.
While neither Singh nor Excel Entertainment has issued a detailed public statement explaining the fallout, industry reports have repeatedly claimed that creative disagreements over the script and the film’s direction may have contributed to the actor’s alleged exit.
