Although Farhan Akhtar did not disclose the name of the actor portraying the main character in the movie, rumours suggest that Ranveer Singh has been chosen to play the role of Don.
Farhan Akhtar further wrote about Shah Rukh Khan’s version of the Don series, “From Don’s sardonic wit to his cool but menacing fury, Shah Rukh Khan embodies his persona. As writer and director, I had a great time creating not one but two, ‘Don’ films with Shah Rukh Khan and both experiences remain very close to my heart.”
“The time now has come to take the legacy of Don forward and joining us in this new interpretation will be an actor whose talent and versatility I have long admired. We hope that you will show him the same love you have so graciously and generously shown to Mr Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. A new era of Don begins in 2025. Watch this space,” he added.
Sharing this post, Farhan added a joining hands emoji which meant that he is requesting the Don fans to give the same love to the other star as well. This comes after Farhan posted an announcement clip that showed a 3 written with ‘A new era begins’.
