Ranveer Singh has reportedly walked out of Farhan Akhtar's highly anticipated Don 3, just weeks after the massive box‑office success of his spy thriller Dhurandhar. According to sources quoted by Mid‑Day and Pinkvilla, the decision comes from multiple factors including date clashes with Dhurandhar 2 reshoots, a post‑success remuneration hike that didn't align with the film's budget, and Ranveer's desire to avoid being typecast in back‑to‑back gangster roles. A source told Pinkvilla, "With Dhurandhar's massive success, Ranveer is very clear about the kind of films he wants to do next. He wants to work with filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Atlee. He also doesn't want to appear in back‑to‑back gangster films, especially since Dhurandhar is already in that space." An internal communication shared with the Don 3 team, accessed by Mid‑Day, confirms that following meetings between Ranveer, his management, Farhan, and producer Ritesh Sidhwani on December 19, the collaboration was officially called off by December 22, with the February 2026 shooting schedule now pushed indefinitely. Ranveer is now reportedly fast‑tracking Jay Mehta's zombie survival drama Pralay, which shows a man's desperate fight to save his family during an apocalypse, signaling a tonal shift from his recent action‑heavy projects. Meanwhile, Excel Entertainment is back to square one, searching for a new actor to step into the iconic Don role, with Kriti Sanon still attached as the female lead. #ranveersingh #don3 #farhanakhtar #dhurandhar #excelentertainment #donfranchise #ranveerexit #pralay #kritisanon #bollywood #gangsterfilm In Partnership with InvestingPro+ Take your market game to the next level with InvestingPro+ — featuring all five AI strategies like Pro-Picks AI, ProTips, FairValue and the exclusive Advanced Screener.Track, analyze, and rebalance like a pro with WarrenAI — the ChatGPT of financial markets, Get 500 WarrenAI queries with your Pro+ membership.
