Don 3 is one of the most awaited films. The third installment of the superhit franchise Don has been in the news ever since it was announced by Farhan Akhtar. The buzz is real and it has increased even more as reports suggest that Vikrant Massey has been roped in as the villain in the film opposite Ranveer.
Vikrant Massey's villainous role in Don 3
According to a report in Free Press Journal, 12th Fail actor, Vikrant Massey has been roped in to play the villain in the action-thriller Don 3. However, after the report went viral, fans wondered about the roles of both Ranveer and Vikrant as the franchise revolves around the protagonist being the anti-hero. Isn't Ranveer the hero?
Meanwhile, Filmfare revealed, "Vikrant is playing the villain in Don 3." Now, the question is, if Vikrant is the villain, does that mean the film will have two villains? If that's the case, then Vikrant's character could be a villain in his own right, challenging Don's supremacy in the crime world. Another portal also described Vikrant as an 'unlikely but effective' villain, indicating a brainy villain instead of the usual suave villain.
Farhan Akhtar reveals why he chose Ranveer Singh over Shah Rukh Khan in Don 3
During an interview, Farhan Akhtar revealed the reason behind choosing Ranveer over Shah Rukh for Don 3. He said, "The kind of script we were writing, what I wanted to do with it... unfortunately it's too early to talk about it, so I can't go into detail, but it needed a next-generation actor." The actor-director also said that Ranveer is mischievous and full of energy. "Don requires a very different kind of performance from him.
It is important to encompass everything that is required for this character, which I don't think he has done, so I think it is a good challenge for him to do that as well. You will see him in a different avatar," he said. Meanwhile, Don 3 starring Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani is being produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment. The film is scheduled to release in 2025
