Vikrant Massey been approached to play villain in Don 3, which stars Ranveer Singh
Perhaps in another podcast with YouTuber raj Shamani, Akhtar discussed the casting of Singh in Don 3 and why he didn't consider a trilogy with Shah Rukh Khan. Farhan explained that the script for Don 3 called for a "next-generation actor," which led him to choose Ranveer. He praised the actor for being "charming," "mischievous," and energetic.
Moreover the director also mentioned that the role he will be playing in the film is unlike anything he has done before, and he believes that a certain aspect of Ranveer's performance remains "untapped." Meanwhile, talking about Don 3, a recent report by news 18 Showsha revealed that the project is currently in pre-production. The preparations for it are expected to begin in march next year, as both Farhan and Ranveer are occupied with other commitments, including Ranveer’s work on Aditya Dhar’s untitled film and his recent transition into fatherhood.
