Is Shah Rukh Khan exiting Don 3?
Latest reports seem to suggest so! Farhan Akhtar is currently working on the script, producer Ritesh Sidhwani has confirmed.
As per Pinkvilla, apparently, SRK told the Excel team that Don 3 doesn’t fit the kind of projects he wants to do now! He also allegedly shot down Farhan’s idea of having 3 generations of Don together – Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and a gen-next star, thinking it would be gimmicky.
“Meetings have happened recently too, but Shah Rukh is not too keen to get back as Don again at this point of time. He is willing to do commercial films that cater to universal section of audience, and Don certainly doesn’t fit the bracket of cinema that he is willing to do for the coming few years. He has conveyed his decision to the stakeholders at Excel,” a source revealed.
The portal further revealed that the team has initiated talks with a hero who has done two films with Excel in the last decade. However, he does view joining the Don legacy as a challenge with 2 superstars having preceded him. It is not yet known who this person is.
Meanwhile, SRK will soon be seen in Jawan, Dunki and Tiger vs Pathaan. Farhan. on the other hand, has Jee Le Zara, with Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and Ali Bhatt.
