Ranveer Singh Dropped From ‘Don 3’? Here’s What Really Happened
Ranveer Singh Dropped From ‘Don 3’? Here’s What Really Happened

Ranveer Singh is currently receiving accolades for 'Dhurandhar,' which has entered the 600-crore club. At the same time, there are many rumors surrounding his role in 'Don 3.' Some sources claim that Ranveer has walked out of the film. Ranveer did not react positively to hearing the narration. Rumors suggest he has walked out, but there is news now stating he has not walked out of 'Don 3,' but has been given the boot instead.

It was also rumored that Ranveer Singh would substitute Shah Rukh Khan in the character of Don in Farhan Akhtar’s movie "Don 3". There were, however, recent reports that Ranveer Singh walked out of this movie. Contrary to allegations of Ranveer Singh pulling out of "Don 3," it was rumored that it was actually the producers who pulled him out of the movie. According to an India Today report, a source has revealed that the producers removed the actor from the film. Sources claim this was due to certain conditions set by Ranveer Singh. Sources have dismissed reports of Ranveer Singh's own departure from the film.

Some sources clarified that the rumors surrounding Ranveer Singh's involvement in "Don 3" are inaccurate. The source said, "Ranveer Singh has not left "Don 3," as rumors are circulating. The story is completely different. Initially, Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar offered him "Don 3" after he had delivered three major flops." He stood by Sanjay Leela Bhansali even after he shelved 'Baiju Bawra'.

The source further stated that 'Don 3' is one of Hindi cinema's biggest and most beloved franchises. Ranveer was replacing not only Shah Rukh Khan but also legendary actors like Amitabh Bachchan. It's a dream role for any actor. Farhan Akhtar was the only filmmaker who trusted Ranveer when others backed out. This was before 'Dhurandhar' had even been released.

This update regarding 'Don 3' comes as Ranveer has become more selective about his upcoming projects following the massive success of 'Dhurandhar'. According to reports, the actor wants to work with filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Atlee, despite consistently avoiding gangster roles. Sources also stated that Ranveer has not abandoned 'Don 3'. His exit from the film is a result of differences with the makers over terms and not a decision taken on his own.
