The discussion surrounding Ranveer Singh's sudden departure from the film Don 3 shows no signs of stopping. It's rare for an actor to shoot a promotional video for a film and then drop out of it years later. However, Ranveer has done just that with Don 3. It is believed that the immense success of his film Dhurandhar led him to abandon Don 3.

Now, news is circulating that producer Farhan Akhtar and the Don 3 team have found a replacement for Ranveer Singh. So, let's find out which actor will be seen playing the lead role in Don 3.
This actor might be part of Don 3
Don 3 was officially announced in 2023, and the promotional video featured Ranveer Singh as the new Don of the franchise. But after the massive success of Dhurandhar, it seems that success went to Ranveer's head, and he dropped out of a big film like Don 3.
According to a Filmfare report, the makers of Don 3 are looking for a replacement for Ranveer Singh as soon as possible, and they have considered actor Hrithik Roshan, who has previously played a powerful anti-hero role in movies like Dhoom 2. However, it cannot be confirmed yet whether the War 2 actor will be seen playing the lead role in his close friend Farhan Akhtar's Don 3 in the future.
But if this actually happens, it will truly be a big surprise for film lovers. Earlier, actress Kiara Advani also opted out of Don 3 due to her pregnancy.
Shah Rukh Khan was the lead actor in Don.
In the previous two installments of the Don franchise, megastar Shah Rukh Khan played the role of Don. But Ranveer Singh was cast in his place for Don 3, which didn't sit well with the fans. Now Ranveer has also left the film, bringing Don 3 back into the spotlight.
