The Story in Brief
Farhan Akhtar has taken an indirect jibe at Ranveer Singh over his exit from Don 3, saying such late pullouts 'seem to be a pattern nowadays'. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Akhtar recalled how Saif Ali Khan nearly quit Dil Chahta Hai days before filming in 2001, and laughingly linked it to Singh's departure.
Don 3 was scheduled to begin production in early 2026 after three years of development. Singh backed out citing a lack of a finalised script, though reports said he discovered Akhtar was exploring alternative casting. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees briefly banned Singh before lifting the ban.
The Indian Opinion
The 'pattern' jibe plays well for Bollywood gossip, but the real question is who dropped whom first. Republic World reports Singh learned of alternate casting talks; Akhtar says Singh quit over script delays. Either way, one man spent three years building a Don film and the other walked away. The test will be who signs the next big action franchise first.
