Overview: Shahrukh Khan will become ‘Don’ again after 11 years

After Ranveer Singh’s exit from ‘Don 3’, the discussion about Shahrukh Khan’s comeback is intense. According to the report, King Khan is ready to do the film but his condition is that ‘Jawaan’ fame director Atlee should be associated with the project so that the level of the film can be even bigger.

Shahrukh Khan Entry in Don 3: Ranveer Singh, who was earlier announced as the new ‘Don’ replacing Shahrukh Khan, is no longer a part of the film. According to reports, after the blockbuster success of his recent film ‘Dhurandhar’, some creative differences and talks regarding fees did not work out, after which the makers (Excel Entertainment) dropped him from the film.

Is Shahrukh Khan really making a comeback?

According to the latest media reports, as soon as Ranveer was out, Farhan Akhtar has again contacted Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh, who was earlier not completely satisfied with the script of ‘Don 3’, is now ready to rethink the project.

What is that ‘one condition’ of Shahrukh?

If reports are to be believed, King Khan has put a very interesting condition before Farhan Akhtar. Shahrukh wants the scale and vision of the film to be as grand as his blockbuster film ‘Jawaan’. Shahrukh has demanded that ‘Jawaan’ director Atlee be made a part of this franchise. Shahrukh believes that Atlee’s style can give the character of ‘Don’ the larger than life image that fans are expecting. They want Atlee to either direct the film or play a lead role in its creative vision and action sequences.

Why was Ranveer Singh out?

Two main reasons are being given for Ranveer’s exit: There was no coordination between Ranveer and Farhan regarding the story and character graph of the film. Some reports claim that after the success of ‘Dhurandhar’, some demands were made by Ranveer which the makers found ‘unfair’.

Don 3’s future and starcast

Kriti Sanon has been locked as the female lead for the film (after Kiara Advani’s withdrawal). If Shahrukh’s condition is accepted, then Farhan Akhtar himself can leave the command of direction and remain only in the role of producer or can work together with Atlee.

Wave of happiness among fans

As soon as the news of Shahrukh’s comeback broke on social media, #SRKasDon and #Don3 started trending. Fans believe that it is difficult to imagine ‘Don’ without Shahrukh and Atlee’s addition will be icing on the cake.
