Why is SRK not in Don 3?
SRK declined the project because he did not want to play the same character for the third time, according to Indian media reports.
“Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani have discussed Don 3 extensively with Shah Rukh Khan.” A few proposals were discussed prior to the epidemic. During the pandemic, these thoughts evolved into a plot. Despite recent conversations, Shah Rukh is not eager to reprise his role as Don at the moment. He is prepared to make commercial films that appeal to a wide spectrum of people, but Don does not fit into the types of films he intends to make in the coming years. He has informed the staff at Excel of his decision.”
Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani, directed by Karan Johar and starring Alia Bhatt, is Ranveer Singh’s next film.
