Ranveer Singh in ‘Don 3’ announcement expected in August?

Rumours about the third installment in the ‘Don’ franchise have been doing the rounds for several months. However, it now seems certain that an announcement is imminent.

PinkVilla reports that Ranveer Singh is almost certain the new ‘Don’ to take the franchise forward from Shah Rukh Khan. Initially, an announcement was expected around Singh’s birthday this week. The film will be helmed by Farhan Akhtar and Riteish Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment.

A source told the publication, “That was the plan. Ranveer strategically launched the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani trailer 2 days before his birthday, keeping the day open for the announcement of Don 3. The announcement video was locked and even showcased to various industry insiders, who loved the concept and look of Ranveer as the new Don. The sound design, look, and even the ambiance created was expected to become the talk of the town.”

“Salaar team announced their teaser launch on July 6 and Excel wasn’t sure if it’s a good idea to launch their asset on the same day as Salaar launch. The month of July is flooded with announcements, as Salaar is expected to be followed by Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan. Everyone, especially Ranveer, was excited about the announcement, but eventually, they collectively put all the announcement plans on hold,” the source added.
