Rumours around Don 3 have surfaced once again, this time involving Farhan Akhtar and Ranveer Singh. Social media activity has triggered fresh speculation about a fallout between the filmmaker and the actor.
Farhan Akhtar has reportedly been keen on directing Don 3 for a long time. However, Ranveer Singh’s sudden exit from the project last year pushed the film back to an early development stage.
As rumours of Don 3 being shelved again began circulating, users noticed that Farhan had unfollowed Ranveer on all his social media platforms. This move immediately sparked chatter about tension between the two.
The issue gained traction after a post on r/BollyBlindsNGossip. A user shared screenshots showing Ranveer’s profile missing from Farhan’s Instagram following list.
Adding to the intrigue, another screenshot revealed that Ranveer Singh still follows Farhan Akhtar. This contrast led to more discussions and speculation online.
Several social media users claimed that Farhan’s strong focus on Don 3 may have affected his relationships within the industry. According to these discussions, Ranveer is the latest name linked to that growing list.
There has been no official clarification on why Ranveer exited the film. However, rumours suggest that the actor was hesitant to commit to a legacy role at this stage of his career.
Fuel was added to the speculation after Shah Rukh Khan, who led the previous Don remake, was allegedly linked to Don 3. Reports claimed he would return only if Atlee directed the film instead of Farhan.
Multiple reported rejections and creative differences are said to have upset Farhan. The filmmaker has long viewed Don 3 as a potential magnum opus in his career.
At present, the future of Don 3 remains uncertain. The makers are still searching for an actor capable of carrying the iconic role, first played by Amitabh Bachchan and later by Shah Rukh Khan.
As discussions continue, audiences are closely watching who Farhan Akhtar chooses next. There is also growing curiosity about whether Don 3 will finally move forward within the year.
