Yes, we knew you were awaiting some sort of confirmation regarding the speculations around 'Don 3' and today, we come bearing good news. It is reported that Shah Rukh Khan will return to the franchise after almost eight years and he is all set to team up with Farhan Akhtar for it. Will Priyanka Chopra be a part of the film? Well, it seems that the film will go on floors without the actress and as of yet, news of a leading lady hasn't been confirmed.
Shah Rukh Khan is currently busy shooting for Aanand L. Rai’s 'Zero' and post shooting for the film, he will begin shooting for 'Don 3'. The script of the film, helmed by Farhan will be perfected by the time Shah Rukh finishes shooting for 'Zero' so that they can start working on the franchise as soon as possible. Farhan always said that ‘Don 3’ was definitely happening, but that he wasn’t sure when. However, looks like things are finally moving forward now.
“We have locked the basic idea of the film and shared it with Shah Rukh Khan. The story this time around is set in the Middle East and a major chunk of the film would be shot in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The script is currently being worked on and we plan to go on floors sometime next year,” said a source close to the development.
Talking about Priyanka Chopra’s involvement in the film, the source said, “Since the story is set in a different region, it doesn’t warrant her character. We shall decide on the final casting of the film once the final script has been locked.”
Now, this is a film we're eagerly awaiting!
