Farhan Akhtar is all set to take the popular Don franchise ahead. 12 years after the release of Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra's Don 2, the makers teased a new development with regards to the third installment. According to reports, Shah Rukh will no longer be associated with the franchise. Ranveer Singh is reportedly taking the baton from him. While the official announcement is yet to be issued, Farhan confirmed that a new actor will be entering the world. 

In a statement on Instagram, the director-producer wrote, "In 1978, a character created by Salim-Javed and portrayed by Mr. Amitabh Bachchan with effortless elan, captured the imagination of theatregoers across the country. That enigmatic character was Don. In 2006, Don was reimagined and brought to life by Shah Rukh Khan in his own irresistibly charming way. From Don's sardonic wit to his cool but menacing fury, Shah Rukh embodied his persona. As writer & director, I had a great time creating not one but two, 'Don' films with Shah Rukh and both experiences remain very close to my heart."
