Ranveer Singh’s highly anticipated film ‘Rakshas’ with filmmaker Prasanth Varma has been officially called off, as announced in a statement. Ranveer shared his admiration for Prasanth’s talent, expressing hope for a future collaboration. Prasanth reciprocated the sentiment, praising Ranveer’s energy and rare talent, hinting at a potential partnership down the line.
While ‘Rakshas’ may not be happening, fans can still look forward to seeing Ranveer in Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Don 3’. The third installment of the popular franchise was announced in a special video featuring Ranveer as the new Don. The teaser showcased Ranveer’s stylish entrance, donning a leather jacket and exuding the iconic swagger associated with the character previously played by Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.
The ‘Don’ series has always been known for its gripping narratives, action-packed sequences, and iconic moments. The first film, released in 2006, starred Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, and Boman Irani, earning accolades like Best Asian Film at an international film festival. The successful sequel followed in 2011, with actor Hrithik Roshan making a special appearance in ‘Don 2’.
Farhan Akhtar’s directorial venture was a remake of the classic 1978 film ‘Don’, which starred Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role. Despite the change in actors, the franchise has maintained its popularity and continues to captivate audiences with its thrilling storyline and compelling characters. Ranveer’s portrayal of Don is highly anticipated, promising a fresh take on the iconic character that has left a lasting impact on Indian cinema.
