Don 3 Exclusive! Not Farhan Akhtar, But Shah Rukh Khan Was Adamant On Passing The Baton To Ranveer Singh, Insiders Reveal “He Argued That James Bond Has…”

Farhan Akhtar waited for ten years for Shah Rukh Khan to agree to do Don 3. The decision to find another actor (Ranveer Singh) was taken after much painful stocktaking of the situation.

A source very close to Farhan Akhtar reveals, “Aapko lagta hai ke Farhan kissi doosre actor ke baare mein soch bhi sakta hai (do you think Farhan can even think of another actor for Don)? But Shah Rukh wouldn’t budge over his decision not to do another film in the Don Franchise. He felt he had given whatever he had to give to Don in his two Don films.”

Apparently when Farhan argued that audience would find it difficult to accept any other actor as Don, SRK argued that James Bond has gone through many profile transferences, from Sean Connery to Roger Moore to Daniel Craig; and now Bond is ready to pass to another actor. So why not Don?
