Has Ranveer Singh's Don 3 been postponed or shelved? Production house sets the record straight

There have been recent speculations about the revival of the Don franchise hitting a roadblock, with reports suggesting that the Ranveer Singh starrer Don 3 might be postponed. However, Excel Entertainment has now set the record straight, confirming that the film is progressing as planned.

In response to the rumours, a spokesperson for the production house issued a statement clarifying that Don 3 remains on schedule. “The makers and Ranveer Singh are on the same page that the timelines of Don 3 remain unchanged. Any such news of postponement is not true,” the statement read.

The reports of a potential delay had raised concerns that the film might even be shelved, but the production team reassured fans that the project is moving forward. “With the timelines firmly in place, the mandates for Don 3 remain ambitious -- delivering a cinematic spectacle that lives up to the franchise’s legacy while setting new benchmarks,” the note added.




The excitement around Don 3 ramped up in August 2023 when Farhan Akhtar revealed that Ranveer Singh would be stepping into the iconic role of Don for the third film in the franchise. The announcement came with a teaser where Ranveer, sitting with his back to the camera, lit a cigarette before turning to reveal himself as Don. Previous versions of the character were portrayed by Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.

Kiara Advani has also been confirmed to join Ranveer in Don 3. She shared a brief clip and a note about her involvement on social media. Official announcements regarding the remaining cast are still awaited.



The film is currently slated to begin production in June 2025, and fans of the Don franchise are eagerly anticipating the next chapter.
