Farhan Akhtar breaks silence on Don 3 casting. Farhan Akhtar, an actor and director, has at last addressed the concerns raised by the public regarding Ranveer Singh’s selection to play the new Don in the upcoming movie.
The action franchise’s creators finally publicized “Don 3,” starring Ranveer Singh, earlier this month after much debate. The devoted followers of the previous Dons, Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, simply not prepared to see the actor in the roles of Bollywood megastars, despite the fact that his name floating around for the iconic role for quite some time.
After much abuse and teasing directed at Singh, Akhtar at last addressed the concerns of the viewers in the most recent interview.
In a current talk with a foreign tabloid, Akhtar said, “I’m just really looking forward to get it going. I mean Ranveer is amazing. He’s great for the part.”
“He’s also as you can imagine, really excited and really nervous, about the thing you’re filling some big shoes before you. But we went through the same emotional process when Shahrukh did it and everyone was like ‘Oh my God, how can you replace Mr. Bachchan?.’ That whole thing happened then,” he clarified.
Additional gushing over his ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ co-star’s acting prowess, he added, “It really is about an actor coming in and owning the part and making it really like, giving it their style and their flair. And he has that, he has that in spades. So, he’s going to do a great job. I think the responsibility is more mine now to make sure that the script and the film work out the way I imagine.”

In addition, Akhtar listed “self-confidence, flamboyance, and the ability to do anything that your mind set on” as some of the qualities required of an actor to play Don.
He added that the movie, scheduled for release in 2025, will begin production in January of that year.
Like the first two films in the series, “Don 3” directed by Akhtar. Excel Entertainment, his joint production company with Ritesh Sidhwani, will finance the film.
In the meantime, any confirmation regarding the action movie’s female lead awaited.
