Bollywood star, Ranveer Singh, is set to become the new ‘Don‘. Taking over from the legendary Shah Rukh Khan, who beautifully portrayed the role in two sequels spanning 2006 to 2011.
Singh is all prepped to offer a fresh perspective to this iconic character. And for those who love Bollywood classics, you’ll remember that Amitabh Bachchan was the first to introduce ‘Don’ to the world in 1978.
Known for bringing depth and intensity to his characters, Ranveer is poised to leave an indelible mark on the franchise while honoring the legacy of those who came before him.
The big announcement came in the form of a video teaser shared by Excel Entertainment. The teaser’s scène is compelling with a dark, neon-lit backdrop of various merged city skylines.
A figure, slowly emerging into the light, reveals himself as the next ‘Don’. The words “Sher jo so raha hai woh jaagega kab?… Main hoon Don,” hinting at the return of the ‘sleeping lion’, echo with intensity, setting the tone for the film.
Following his recent cinematic triumph with “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” after a rough patch in his otherwise soaring career, this role in ‘Don 3’ seems perfect for Rnavir’s comeback.
Interestingly, initial conversations for ‘Don 3’ hinted at Shah Rukh Khan returning to his titular role. His portrayal had left an indelible mark, making this change in casting a point of intrigue.
With director Farhan Akhtar taking the reins again, the next sequel of ‘Don’ promises to blend nostalgia and novelty with its famous dialogue, “Ab 11 mulko ke police ki nazar hogi” highlighted in the teaser.
With the release date set for 2025, fans are on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting how Ranveer Singh infuses his unique charisma and energy into this timeless character.
