Ranveer on replacing Shah Rukh in Don
Ranveer Singh said, “I’m hoping to make Don my own and give it my spin, my interpretation. It is the handing over of the baton of one of the most loved and revered franchises of Hindi cinema. The significance of that is not lost on me. When the announcement was made, as expected, it came with its share of scepticism. But throughout the history of cinema, this has happened. Even as recently as perhaps when the Bond franchise changed hands and they announced Daniel Craig as the new Bond, it came with its fair share of scepticism. So, this is only natural.”
He also added, “Taking the baton forward in this franchise and continuing the legacy of two of our greatest superstars – the significance of that is not lost on me. So, I will give it my best shot and you will see the very best of me and I will put my best foot forward for Don undoubtedly.” Helmed by Farhan Akhtar, Don 3 will release in 2025.
What Farhan said about Ranveer, Don 3
While announcing the film, Farhan requested the audience to give the same love to Ranveer as they showered on previous Don installments. he had said, as quoted by news agency ANI, “In 1978, a personality created by Salim-Javed and portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan with easy elan, captured the creativeness of theatregoers throughout the nation. That enigmatic character was Don. In 2006, Don was reimagined and dropped at life by Shah Rukh Khan in his personal irresistibly charming manner.”
“The time has now come to take the legacy of Don ahead and becoming a member of us on this new interpretation might be an actor whose expertise and flexibility I’ve lengthy admired. We hope that you’ll present him the love you might have so graciously and generously proven to Mr Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan,” the post further read.
