In 2023, Farhan Akhtar announced Don 3 with Ranveer Singh stepping into the franchise. Since then, there have been a lot of polarising opinions as the franchise originally featured Shah Rukh Khan. However,
the film kept getting delayed for multiple reasons, and eventually, Ranveer walked out of the project. After his exit, it was rumoured that Hrithik Roshan would replace him. But it seems like the reports were untrue. Hrithik has come forward and denied his involvement in Don 3.
Hrithik Roshan was NEVER approached for Don 3
While speaking to Variety India, Hrithik Roshan, who is all set to helm Krrish 4, set the record straight and put an end to the ongoing speculations. He even confirmed that he was never approached for Don 3. Roshan told the portal, “What started off as just a rumour has now taken a life of its own, and it’s important to set the record straight. I would like to categorically clarify that I was never approached for ‘Don 3’ at any given time. I request the media to steer clear of any such unverified reports.”
Don fans may have to wait a little longer to know who will take the baton ahead from SRK!
Ranveer Singh vs Farhan Akhtar – All you need to know
After Ranveer left the film, the issue escalated quite quickly. Farhan reportedly has claimed that Ranveer’s exit has resulted in financial losses worth Rs 40 crore and is seeking compensation. On the other hand, Ranveer has accused Excel Entertainment of unprofessional conduct and a lack of commitment, which led to delays in the film’s production. If reports are to be believed, Singh wasn’t satisfied with the script and he has given this as a primary reason for his exit. The ongoing issue has become the talk of the town, and it resurfaced after Farhan and Ritesh Sidhwani reached out to the Producers Guild of India, requesting that Ranveer give back the money for the alleged losses incurred due to his sudden exit. While Ranveer has resisted and said that he did not accept any remuneration or signing amount for the project.
