Amitabh Bachchan was the main actor in the 1978 film “Don.” Shah Rukh Khan took on the lead role in the remakes “Don: The Chase Begins Again” (2006) and “Don 2” (2011), both directed by Farhan Akhtar.
Shah Rukh Khan acted in Don and its sequel Don 2. Don 3 will feature Ranveer Singh.
Ranveer Singh has opened up about replacing Shah Rukh Khan in his upcoming film Don 3. Speaking with Deadline, Ranveer said that when the film was announced ‘as expected it came with its share of scepticism’. He added that he is hoping to make Don his own and give it his ‘spin and interpretation”.

Ranveer Singh expressed his anticipation in making the character of Don his own, providing his unique interpretation and spin to the beloved Hindi cinema franchise. Recognizing the weight of inheriting a role played by iconic actors, he likened it to instances such as the transition of the James Bond character to Daniel Craig. Singh acknowledged the initial skepticism surrounding his casting but emphasized that such doubts are common during franchise transitions.
He acknowledged the significance of carrying forward the legacy of Don, originally portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan in 1978 and later by Shah Rukh Khan in 2006 and 2011. Farhan Akhtar, the director of the upcoming Don 3 scheduled for release in 2025, urged the audience to extend the same love to Ranveer Singh as they did to the previous Don actors.
Farhan Akhtar highlighted the history of Don, created by Salim-Javed and portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan, and its reinterpretation by Shah Rukh Khan in 2006. He expressed confidence in Ranveer Singh’s talent and versatility for the new interpretation, inviting the audience to embrace this evolution of the character.
Don (1978), directed by Chandra Barot and featuring Amitabh Bachchan, was a significant success, followed by Farhan Akhtar’s remakes in 2006 and 2011 starring Shah Rukh Khan. The film was a Golden Jubilee at the box office in 1978.
In addition to his role in Don 3, Ranveer Singh will also be seen as Simmba in Rohit Shetty’s cop drama “Singham Again,” alongside Deepika Padukone, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, and Kareena Kapoor.
