The film starring Ranveer Singh and Kriti Sanon will begin shooting next year. This confirmation has brought both relief and excitement to fans who have been tracking every rumour and speculation about the project.
Farhan Akhtar recently spoke to Filmfare and was asked about the current status of Don 3. His response was direct and clear. He stated that they will begin shooting next year, and that is the most significant news he can share right now. This straightforward announcement has ended months of speculation and uncertainty surrounding the project.
The Big Debate: Shah Rukh Khan Versus Ranveer Singh
Shah Rukh Khan played the iconic role of Don in the 2006 and 2011 films, both directed by Farhan Akhtar. His charming yet menacing portrayal of the character remains legendary in Bollywood history. Many fans still wish for his return as the cunning criminal mastermind. The impact Shah Rukh Khan created with his performance is something that fans cherish even today.
However, a significant portion of the audience is excited to see Ranveer Singh bring his own interpretation to this iconic role. The character has a remarkable history. It was first brought to life by Amitabh Bachchan in the original 1978 film, then reinterpreted by Shah Rukh Khan, and now it is being handed over to Ranveer Singh. Known for his transformative abilities and magnetic screen presence, Ranveer is expected to bring a bold new energy while respecting the character’s rich legacy.

In their press statement, they confirmed that Farhan Akhtar is gearing up for his next directorial project Don 3, which is expected to begin filming in January 2026. The statement also officially confirmed that Ranveer Singh and Kriti Sanon will play the lead roles in the film.
There are also exciting rumours floating around about a special surprise. Reports suggest that Shah Rukh Khan might make a cameo appearance in the film. If this turns out to be true, it would be the perfect bridge between the old era and the new era of Don.
