Farhan Akhtar recently unveiled the first look of Ranveer Singh as Don for the third instalment of the franchise. Reports suggested that Kiara Advani was approached for a role but it was later clarified that she is not in talks to replace Priyanka Chopra’s character. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiara was spotted at Excel Entertainment co-founder Ritesh Sidhwani’s office earlier this week. There were also reports that Kriti Sanon has been approached to play the leading lady. Amidst such speculations, a new report claims that the makers are keen to rope in Deepika Padukone as she would be the best fit for the Don universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports, Producers are considering Deepika Padukone for the female lead in Don 3 due to her athletic abilities, but may also cast a newcomer for the role. According to reports, the producers are looking for a top-notch actress to perform intricate stunts in Don 3 alongside Ranveer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deepika, known for her athletic personality, fits the bill. However, the reports suggested that the producers may opt for a fresh face. Deepika and Ranveer together have done three films with Sanjay Leela Bhansali earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farhan Akhtar recently addressed the criticism he faced for casting Ranveer Singh in Don 3. “I’m excited to get it going. Ranveer is perfect for the part. He’s understandably nervous about filling big shoes, but we went through the same process when Shah Rukh did it,” Farhan said in an interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A day after it was announced that Ranveer Singh would play the lead role in the new Don movie, he posted a lengthy message on Instagram. He expressed his understanding of the significant responsibility of being part of the ‘Don’ legacy and hoped that the audience would accept and appreciate his performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He expressed his gratitude to Farhan and Ritesh for entrusting him with an honourable mantle and believing in him. Ranveer added I hope I can deliver on your faith and conviction. My two supernovas, The Big B and SRK, I hope I can make you proud, he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
