The first look of Ranveer Singh as Don in Don 3 was officially unveiled by the makers on Wednesday, August 9th. Director Farhan Akhtar shared a video that introduces Ranveer's character, and it has left netizens divided.
The video starts with Ranveer sitting with his back to the camera, wearing a jacket, boots, and lighting a cigarette. He then says the iconic "11 mulkon ki police" dialogue and introduces himself as Don.
The video was also shared by Ranveer on his official social media accounts, with the caption "A New Era Begins. #Don3". Soon after he posted the teaser, netizens had mixed reactions. While some praised Ranveer's intriguing first look, others felt that Shah Rukh Khan cannot be replaced by any other actor, especially for Don franchise.
A user commented, "It's ok to reboot the franchise, but using the title Don 3 shows you makers are misusing SRK's stardom, SRK will always remain the iconic Don." Another wrote, "Don nahi chapri Don Srk had class mate. Good luck though." Yet another user wrote, "I love RV… but DON has to be SRK. Honestly the dialogues would have been far more powerful in the voice of SRK".
The news of Ranveer starring in Don 3 comes a day after Farhan officially announced the project. In his long note, he also mentioned that he will take the film series forward in a new interpretation with an actor whose 'talent and versatility' he has long admired.
Farhan Akhtar and Riesh Sidhwani are producing Don 3, which is scheduled to hit the big screens in 2025. Ranveer and Farhan had earlier collaborated for Zoya Akhtar's 2015 film Dil Dhadakne Do, which also starred Priyanka Chopra and Anushka Sharma.
We can't wait to watch this new interpretation of Don 3, and see Ranveer's performance!
