Fans of popular actors Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas can’t keep calm! We know that the 2006 film Don and 2011 film Don 2, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra were a big hit at the box office. These films minted hundreds of crores of rupees at the box office back then owing to powerful action sequences, high-octane drama, and more.
And now, in a fresh update, the third installment of Don 3 is underway. This upcoming film will be directed by Farhan Akhtar and produced by Ritesh Sidhwani. Sources close to the makers told news agency PTI: “The third installment of superstar Shah Rukh Khan-fronted action thriller Don, to be directed by Farhan Akhtar, is currently in the scripting stage.”
Minutes after the development, Sidhwani told PTI, “Till my partner (Farhan Akhtar) finishes writing it, we won’t do anything. Right now, he is in the phase of completing the script… Even all of us are eagerly waiting to see Don.”
Notably, as reported by PTI, Akhtar and Sidhwani’s banner Excel Entertainment bought the rights of the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer 1978 film of the same name and remade it with Shah Rukh and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in the lead.
This development sweeps in months after the film Pathaan was released at the box office which is the highest grossing Bollywood film this year. Pathaan featured Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in pivotal roles.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will next be seen in the film Jawan directed by Atlee. Later in the year, Khan will be seen in Raj Kumar Hirani directorial Dunki. Shah Rukh Khan is also going to play a cameo role in Salman Khan starrer Tiger 3.
