Don 3 Shelved: Farhan Akhtar Moves On to Jee Le Zara

Farhan Akhtar's highly anticipated Don 3 has been put on the backburner after Ranveer Singh's sudden exit in late December. The film's entire cast, including Kriti Sanon, Arjun Das, Ashutosh Rana, Shreya Dhanwanthary, Rahul Dev, and Neeraj Kabi, was locked and loaded, but everything fell apart when Ranveer backed out. The makers tried to find a replacement, even approaching a young star who delivered a blockbuster last year, but it didn't work out.

According to reports, Ranveer's exit was due to creative differences and unreasonable demands, not just his recent success in Dhurandhar. Farhan Akhtar is now focusing on his dream project, Jee Le Zara, starring Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif. The script is ready, and they're working on aligning the actresses' schedules.

The End of an Era for Don 3

Don 3 was supposed to start rolling in early 2026, but with Ranveer's exit, the project has been indefinitely postponed. Farhan Akhtar wants to ensure the iconic franchise gets the right face to carry the legacy forward, and he's not rushing into casting.

Jee Le Zara: The New Focus

Jee Le Zara has always been special for Farhan, and he's now reviving discussions with the original team. The film is expected to go on floors in the second half of 2026 if the actresses dates align.

What's Next for Ranveer Singh

Ranveer is now focusing on other projects, including Pralay, a zombie thriller with Jai Mehta. His career is on a roll, and fans can't wait to see what's next .
