Work on the third instalment of Don franchise begins

While Megastar Salman Khan is part of two film franchises and Aamir Khan none, superstar Shah Rukh Khan is associated with only one film franchise, Don. The series has seen two instalments so far and both were equally loved by the audience. Talks about a third part of the franchise are not new. Fans have been waiting for an official announcement for a long time. However, if latest reports are to be believed, Don 3 might go on floors sometime next year as the work on the same has already begun.

Ritesh Sidhwani, the producer of the franchise, says, “It will happen sooner than you know, as we have started working on the script and the story. I think we need to crack the story as the responsibility is more. With the next film in 'Don' franchise we won't take that much time, we'll make it fast.”


The first two films saw Priyanka Chopra as the leading lady, but since the actress is quite busy with her prior commitments in Hollywood, she might not be a part of the next instalment. Recently, reports were doing the rounds that Deepika Padukone might replace PC in the film to be Shah Rukh Khan’s leading lady.

Speaking about the same, Sidhwani said, “We have not decided what we are going to do with it. Right now the film is in the idea stage, it needs to come out in the form of story and screenplay. So it is too early to say anything.”

The first part of the series, Don, came in 2006 and was a runaway success at the box office. Its sequel, Don 2, released in 2011 and emerged as one of the highest grossing Bollywood films of the year. Hope Don 3 replicates the success of its predecessors.

Don franchise is an Excel Entertainment offering.
