Ranveer Singh, the prominent actor currently making waves with his spy-thriller “Dhurandhar,” has reportedly exited the eagerly awaited film “Don 3.” Sources indicate that this decision allows him to concentrate on his upcoming action project, “Pralay,” following the success of “Dhurandhar.” The shift in focus reflects both the rising momentum he has gained in action roles and the demands of his evolving schedule.
This news has surprised many fans, who had anticipated the next installment of the iconic “Don” franchise, which began with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role. Although promotional material for “Don 3” featuring Ranveer was released in August 2023, there had been ongoing speculation regarding his involvement. Recent reports from Pinkvilla suggest that his creative energies and schedule are now primarily dedicated to the ambitious project “Pralay.”
“Dhurandhar” has proven to be one of the biggest hits of Ranveer’s career, serving as a pivotal moment not only commercially but also in enhancing his reputation for versatility in high-octane roles. With “Pralay,” he is expected to explore even greater levels of action and dramatic storytelling.
According to reports, the choice to withdraw from “Don 3” stems from the inability to manage multiple commitments simultaneously. In an industry where timelines often clash, Ranveer’s team has chosen to streamline his projects to ensure quality and continuity.
As for “Don 3,” it continues to remain a profitable and culturally significant franchise. Producers may now consider enlisting other popular stars or adjusting the project’s timeline. While an official confirmation of Ranveer’s departure from “Don 3” is pending, this news has disheartened many fans, especially after the positive reception of “Dhurandhar,” which led many to believe he would succeed in taking over Shah Rukh Khan’s role.
In other news, “Dhurandhar” is projected to outperform “Kantara: Chapter 1” globally, with audiences also looking forward to “Avatar 3,” which aims for a revenue target of Rs 100 crore.
