Ranveer Singh claims Hrithik Roshan was being considered for Don 3? What reportedly happened at his meetings with Excel

Published by Webster

Soon after the success of Dhurandhar in December, it was reported that lead actor Ranveer Singh has exited Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3 due to creative differences. Yesterday, buzz suggested that Farhan and Ritesh Sidhwani’s production company Excel Entertainment are now seeking compensation of ₹40 crore from Ranveer. This amount was apparently spent on the pre-production of the project. The involved parties reportedly sat down for two meetings mediated by the Producers Guild of India. What happened behind the closed door meetings, where Farhan and his team allegedly locked horns with Ranveer, has now been revealed. Was Hrithik Roshan being considered for Ranveer Singh’s Don 3?

Published by Parlour News

It has been nearly two years since Farhan Akhtar announced his return to direction with Don 3, the much-anticipated next chapter in one of Hindi cinema’s most memorable action franchises. The announcement, however, came with a decisive twist: Shah Rukh Khan would not reprise the role. Instead, the mantle of Don was to be passed to Ranveer Singh. The response was unforgiving. Farhan, Ranveer and the film’s unit faced intense backlash online. From the outset, the project appeared to be fighting an uphill battle, surrounded by sustained negativity and public scepticism. Over the last two years, those early signs of turbulence have reportedly escalated into a serious internal conflict. According to industry reports, Don 3 has now been stalled after Ranveer decided to exit the franchise following the release and gigantic success of Dhurandhar. Matters worsened earlier this week when Variety India reported that Farhan has allegedly demanded Rs 40 crore in damages from Ranveer for walking out of the project just months before it was scheduled to go on floors.
