Ranveer Singh hasn't quit 'Don 3' after 'Dhurandhar' success?
What's the story
Speculation surrounding Ranveer Singh's involvement in Farhan Akhtar's Don 3 has been making headlines, with reports suggesting that the star quit the film after Dhurandhar's success. However, a new report has dismissed these claims. A source told India Today, "Ranveer hasn't walked out of Don 3 like the rumor mills claim."
Details
'It's actually an entirely different story'
The source further clarified, "It's actually an entirely different story." "To start with, Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar offered him Don 3 after he had delivered three colossal flops." They added, "They stood by him even after Sanjay Leela Bhansali shelved Baiju Bawra because he was considered not saleable at the time."
Background
Singh's involvement in 'Don 3' was a significant gamble
The source highlighted, "Don 3 is the hottest franchise, and Ranveer was stepping into the legendary shoes of not just Shah Rukh Khan, but also Amitabh Bachchan. It is a dream role for any actor," they said. "Farhan was the only filmmaker who put his trust in Ranveer when others had backed out." "This was also at a time when Dhurandhar hadn't even released." Instead, creative disagreements led to the split. Meanwhile, Kriti Sanon will play the female lead.
