Ranveer Singh poses with Farhan Akhtar at 120 Bahadur screening; fans speculate about Don 3: “Can they start filming tomorrow”

However, it was Ranveer’s simple black kurta–pyjama look and his cheerful presence that captured all the attention. At the event, he was also seen greeting Sachin Tendulkar and later joined Farhan, Hrithik, and Kapil Sharma at the film’s after-party.

Ranveer had arrived to cheer for Farhan, who leads the film 120 Bahadur, inspired by the Battle of Rezang La. The duo greeted each other with a big smile and a warm hug on the red carpet.

Their reunion instantly sent fans into a tizzy, with many linking the moment to their upcoming collaboration on Don 3. One fan wrote, “Can they start filming tomorrow? Kriti and Ranveer will be fire together.” Another commented, “I think their energy matches… it’ll be a treat,” while many asked, “Toh kya hum DON 3 locked samjhein?!”

In August 2023, Farhan officially announced that Ranveer Singh would take over as the new Don in the third installment of the iconic franchise through a special teaser. The video featured Ranveer seated in a high-rise, lighting a cigarette, introducing himself as Don, and then dramatically turning to the camera.

While Kiara Advani was initially reported to star opposite Ranveer, it is now believed that Kriti Sanon has been roped in as the female lead. However, an official confirmation about the rest of the cast is still pending, and details about the plot remain under wraps.

According to a Bollywood Hungama report, a source told Subhash K. Jha that the delay in Don 3 was unavoidable. Ranveer needed time to allow online trolling—after replacing Shah Rukh Khan in the franchise—to subside. Farhan and Ranveer mutually agreed to wait before restarting work. The role also demands extensive physical and martial arts training, requiring Ranveer to prepare mentally and physically. Meanwhile, Farhan became occupied with his own acting commitments, especially the demanding war drama 120 Bahadur, where he plays Major Shaitan Singh.

Don 3 is expected to go on floors in January 2026, with a planned theatrical release in December 2026.

The Don franchise began with the 2006 film starring Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Boman Irani. The movie won Best Asian Film at the Neuchatel International Fantastic Film Festival. Its sequel released in 2011 and was declared a hit. Both films were directed by Farhan Akhtar and were remakes of the 1978 classic Don starring Amitabh Bachchan.
