New Delhi:
Don 3 has been a trending topic of discussion for a while now, ever since the makers announced that Ranveer Singh has been roped in for the third instalment. While Shah Rukh Khan fans were disappointed with the new development, Farhan Akhtar reassured them that the baton had to be passed on, and Ranveer was the perfect fit.
The film was originally scheduled to begin filming last year. However, due to multiple delays, the project is yet to take off. Farhan Akhtar too has been busy shooting for his film 120 Bahadur. He has been aiming to wrap up the film before he begins work on Don 3.
But to the much delight of the fans, Don 3 finally has a schedule in place to begin shooting this year, it will begin in September.
A close source told News18 Showsha, "Farhan is nearing the end of 120 Bahadur. Ranveer has also finished shooting for a major portion of Dhurandar. And so, they wouldn't want to wait any longer before beginning filming for Don 3. The first schedule is ready to roll in September this year. Both Ranveer and Vikrant Massey, who plays the antagonist, will be a part of it."
The female lead for the film is still not officially confirmed. While Kiara Advani was the first choice, the actress who is expecting her first child has stepped down from the project. Latest reports suggest that the female lead battle is now ongoing between Kriti Sanon and Sharvari Wagh.
As for Ranveer Singh and Vikrant Massey, the actors have previously collaborated in Dil Dhadakne Do and Lootera. They are set to lock horns now in Don 3.
The source added, "Be assured that there will be a lot of stylised action sequences, including bike chases, between the duo. Vikrant, who has pretty much been the darling of heartland cinema, will be seen in a brand new avatar in Don 3, leaving fans surprised."

Mahesh Babu, Rajamouli To Kickstart Next Leg Of SSMB29, Will Priyanka Chopra Join In?
Last Updated: As for SSMB29, it marks Chopra Jonas' comeback Indian film after The White Tiger that released in 2021. Mahesh Babu and SS Rajamouli are currently busy with the shoot of their highly-anticipated film SSMB29. It is being reported that the next leg of the shooting is all set to begin later this month. The big-budget action-adventure is finally moving into its next major schedule, and speculation is rife that global icon Priyanka Chopra may soon join the cast. 123 Telugu has reported that Mahesh, Rajamouli, and SSMB29's team members are gearing up to kickstart the film's next schedule on June 9. The soon-to-commence schedule will take place in Hyderabad. But it is not clear whether Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran will join for the upcoming schedule. Earlier this year, speculations were rife that Nana Patekar has been roped in to play an important role in it that will shape the protagonist's journey in SSMB29. As per reports, a look test was conducted for the veteran actor and he was supposed to play the role of Babu's father in the film. But seems like there's little truth to the story. When News18 Showsha reached out to Patekar, he told us, 'No." However, a while back, a reliable source had informed us that the RRR and Baahubali director had approached him last year but he politely turned down the offer. The reason? The role didn't entice him enough. The source further revealed to us that the makers of SSMB29 had offered a very heavy amount to Patekar for the role for the shoot of which he was supposed to allot about a couple of weeks. 'The money offered was close to an unprecedented Rs 20 crore. And he had to only shoot for about 15 days. But he felt that the role wasn't something that he wanted to sink his teeth into," the source added. As for SSMB29, it marks Chopra Jonas' comeback Indian film after The White Tiger that released in 2021. SSMB29, which is being compared to Indiana Jones for its scale and ambition, is written by Rajamouli's father, V Vijayendra Prasad. It's slated for a 2027 release. Coming to Rajamouli, post SSMB29, he'll begin the shoot of Made In India, a pan-Indian release on the life of the Father of Indian Cinema, Dadasaheb Phalke. Jr NTR has been roped in to play the lead in the film. Additionally, Rajamouli is planning a 10-part retelling of the Indian epic, Mahabharat. First Published: June 06, 2025, 12:22 IST
