The much-anticipated Don 3, starring Ranveer Singh, has hit another snag. Initially, the film was supposed to begin shooting in August 2023, but plans were pushed back to January 2025.
Don 3 Shoot DELAYED Due To Farhan Akhtar’s 120 Bahadur
Now, as per reports from News18, the start date has been delayed once again. The reason? Farhan Akhtar, the film’s director, is currently tied up with his acting project, 120 Bahadur.
120 Bahadur revolves around the Battle of Rezang during the Indo-China war of 1962, where Farhan portrays the role of Major Shaitan Singh PVC. Farhan gave fans a first look at his character on Instagram and shared that production on 120 Bahadur is in full swing.
A source revealed, “Farhan wants to fulfil his acting commitment before jumping into Don 3. Since shooting for 120 Bahadur will take months, the new Don 3 schedule has been shifted to May or June 2025.”
Ranveer Singh & Kiara Advani’s Busy Schedules
Ranveer Singh, who’s stepping into the legendary shoes of Don, is keeping himself busy with other projects while fans eagerly wait for him to bring his unique spin to the character. He’s currently working on an untitled project directed by Aditya Dhar, which has already stirred excitement.
On the other hand, Kiara Advani, who’s also starring in Don 3, is juggling her role in War 2, where she’s paired with Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR.
This delay in Don 3 has allowed both actors to focus on wrapping up these other major projects before diving into the iconic franchise.
When news broke that Ranveer Singh would be taking over the iconic role of Don, which was last portrayed by Shah Rukh Khan, fans were split.
Some are excited to see Ranveer take on the role and add his own flair to the character, while others were upset that Shah Rukh wouldn’t be returning.
Despite the mixed reactions, the buzz surrounding Don 3 remains strong, with fans eagerly waiting to see how Ranveer handles the role in his own style.
Farhan Akhtar’s Other Projects Face Delays Too
It seems Farhan Akhtar’s directorial projects have been facing some consistent delays. Not just Don 3, but his long-awaited film Jee Le Zaraa has also been pushed back. This road-trip movie focusing on female friendships stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt.
Alia previously addressed the delay, saying, “Scheduling conflicts have held it up, but we’re all still eager to make it happen when the timing is right.”
With Farhan wrapped up in 120 Bahadur and Don 3 facing further delays, fans will have to wait a bit longer for the return of the iconic franchise.
