Why fans think Roshan won't pitch himself for 'Don 3'
However, some fans questioned why Roshan would indirectly pitch himself for Don 3 on Instagram, given his close relationship with Akhtar. One Redditor wrote, "I mean they are childhood friends and he has worked on two of Farhan's most celebrated movies. Do you really think if Hrithik wants to 'pitch' for Don 3, he will do it via IG?" Another user agreed, "I know right! I was like, woh direct baat nahi karlega?"
Previous role
Roshan previously denied 'Don 3' rumors
Roshan's cameo in Don 2 (2011) has also fueled speculation about his potential involvement in the franchise. However, he previously denied any such rumors, stating, "What started off as just a rumor has now taken on an entire life of its own, and it's important to set the record straight." "I would like to categorically clarify that I was never approached for Don 3 at any given time. Requesting media to steer clear of any such unverified reports."
