Don 3: Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan to share screen with Ranveer Singh?
The Don franchise has always been synonymous with style, swagger, and reinvention. From Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic portrayal in the 1978 original to Shah Rukh Khan’s sleek reinterpretation in Farhan Akhtar’s 2006 and 2011 films, each era has introduced a new face of the elusive underworld kingpin.
Now, with Ranveer Singh confirmed as the new Don, a fresh wave of speculation has taken over Bollywood- will Don 3 actually unite all three generations of Dons on the big screen?
In August 2023, Farhan Akhtar officially introduced Ranveer Singh as the next Don, marking what he described as a 'new era' for the franchise. The casting of Ranveer triggered divided reactions, some excited for a bold new interpretation, others nostalgic for SRK’s suave version.
Recently, reports have been abuzz that Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan might appear together with Ranveer Singh in Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3. This speculation was fueled by insider chatter and industry leaks suggesting that Farhan had initially toyed with the idea of bringing all three actors together in a passing-the-legacy storyline.
While no official confirmation has been made, the possibility of uniting three cinematic eras of Don has electrified fans. If realised, it would be a historic crossover, paying tribute to the franchise’s rich legacy while introducing its future.
As of now, the idea of Amitabh, SRK, and Ranveer sharing screen space remains speculative. While media reports hint at Farhan’s interest in such a narrative twist, but without official confirmation, fans need to wait with their fingers crossed. If Farhan manages to bring all three legends together, Don 3 could redefine the concept of cinematic legacy in Bollywood.
