Don is one of the most loved films starring Shah Rukh Khan. After the two successful franchises, fans have been eagerly waiting for the third instalment, and it seems like the wait is over as the makers have decided to reboot the franchise.
It has been reported that Farhan Akhtar has roped in Ranveer Singh as the new Don.

Farhan Akhtar took to his social media handle and on Tuesday, August 8, he dropped a clip announcing Don 3. The 37-second clip shows the number 3 illuminated in red light with the words "A New Era Begins" written below.
The casting of the film has not been announced. Reports also suggest that the teaser of the action thriller will be attached to Sunny Deol's Gadar 2.
"No SRK, No Don" trends on social media
Fans flocked to the comments section under Farhan's post and expressed excitement for the film. They also demanded to see Ranveer's first look from the film.
In my opinion #ShahRukhKhan shouldn’t have let go #Don Franchise, with Big Scale & current Phase #SRK is enjoying- #Don3 would have gone #Pathaan’s way at the global box office.
