Ranveer Singh’s Don 3 Delayed: Why Farhan Akhtar’s Next Move Has Fans Talking?
Ever since Ranveer Singh was announced as the new face of the iconic Don franchise in Don 3, the film has faced its share of controversies. From casting debates to speculation about production delays, the buzz around the film refuses to die down. The latest update? The film’s shoot, initially scheduled for January 2025, has reportedly been postponed.
Farhan Akhtar, who directs and produces Don 3, made waves earlier this year with the film's announcement. A teaser featuring Ranveer Singh as the new Don sparked excitement and debate among fans. While pre-production was reportedly in full swing, recent reports suggest that Farhan’s commitment to another project, 120 Bahadur, has caused delays in Don 3's schedule.
Why Was ‘Don 3’ Postponed?
According to a report by PeepingMoon, Farhan Akhtar is prioritizing 120 Bahadur, a war film under Excel Entertainment. The project, recently announced, features Farhan in a leading role as a military officer. Sources suggest that Farhan wants to complete this film before diving into Don 3.
Balancing two major films simultaneously seems impractical, and Farhan reportedly prefers to give each project his undivided attention. As a result, Don 3 is now expected to begin production only after 120 Bahadur is wrapped up.
Ranveer Singh’s casting as the new Don received mixed reactions from fans of the franchise. Many were hesitant about him stepping into the shoes of Shah Rukh Khan, who immortalized the role in the previous installments. Despite the initial skepticism, the teaser helped some fans warm up to the idea of Ranveer bringing his signature energy to the character.
Ranveer Singh’s Recent Success
While Don 3 faces delays, Ranveer Singh has been keeping his fans entertained with other projects. He was recently seen in Singham Again, playing a Hanuman-inspired version of his character, Simmba. Fans praised his comic timing and energetic performance, calling him one of the film's highlights.
Ranveer’s upcoming projects, however, remain under scrutiny. Apart from Don 3, his involvement in the Shaktimaan remake has also stirred debate among fans of the original superhero film.
With Don 3 delayed, fans will have to wait longer to see Ranveer Singh take on the iconic role. While the news may be disappointing, Farhan Akhtar’s dedication to delivering high-quality cinema offers hope that both 120 Bahadur and Don 3 will live up to expectations.
As the dust settles, the delay could provide the team with more time to refine the film, ensuring it meets the high standards set by its predecessors. For now, fans are left eagerly waiting for updates and hoping the wait will be worth it.
