Don 3 Update: New Cast, Story Tweaks, and Release Delay

There's been a lot of buzz online about the upcoming movie Don 3! Here's a breakdown of everything we know so far:

New Don: Fans were surprised to learn that Ranveer Singh will be taking on the iconic role of Don, previously played by Shah Rukh Khan. This news caused a stir online, with many eager to see Ranveer's take on the action hero character.
Writing Team: The movie is written by Farhan Akhtar, who also directed the previous Don films, along with Pushkar-Gayatri, a well-known writing duo.
Leading Lady: Kiara Advani has been confirmed to play the female lead role in Don 3.
Filming Delay: While some earlier reports suggested filming might start in August this year, it seems things have changed. The movie will now begin filming in 2025. This is according to the filmmakers, who want to ensure everything is perfectly planned before starting production.

Avoiding Rumors: Farhan revealed that they announced the movie early to avoid any false rumors from confusing fans. He also plans to focus on another acting project in July before dedicating his full attention to Don 3.
The Villain: The search for the villain in Don 3 is still ongoing. Earlier rumors suggested Emraan Hashmi might play the bad guy, but the actor himself denied this on social media.
Stronger Villain: The writers are currently working on making the villain's character more interesting and complex than in previous Don movies.
Filming Delay Reasons: It seems unlikely filming will begin in August as originally planned. This could be due to several reasons, including Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone expecting their first child in September, and the need for more development on the script and villain role.

In an interview with BBC, Farhan Akhtar talked about choosing Ranveer Singh for the role:

Excited Choice: Farhan is excited to work with Ranveer, praising his acting skills and energy.
Big Shoes to Fill: Ranveer is both excited and nervous about taking on such a legendary role previously played by Shah Rukh Khan. Farhan compares this situation to when Shah Rukh Khan took over the role from Amitabh Bachchan in the first Don movie. He emphasizes that what matters most is an actor bringing their own unique style and personality to the character.
