Farhan Akhtar on Don 3 and Jee Le Zaraa: One moves forward, one on hold!

Don 3, to be helmed by Farhan Akhtar, has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. There were rumblings after the announcement that the film was postponed and wouldn't start as planned. The filmmaker, however, shot down these rumours in a recent interview with India Today.

Don 3 still on schedule despite rumours

Don 3 is still on schedule, according to Akhtar. He said that he is not evading any queries on the film when asked if he was trying to dodge them. Further sharing: he revealed that the shoot for Don 3 will begin this year, while 120 Bahadur also hits the big screen in 2025.

When the online portal asked Akhtar about his other directorial, Jee Le Zaraa, which he announced in 2021, the filmmaker responded by saying that many dates have to be coordinated.
