The much-anticipated third sequel of the Don franchise, helmed by Farhan Akhtar’s production house, has been generating waves, particularly regarding its star-studded ensemble. Speculations are rife that Vikrant Massey is in discussions to take on the formidable role of the film’s antagonist.
Vikrant to Embody a Menacing Role
As per circulating media reports, Vikrant Massey is being considered for the antagonist’s role in Don 3. However, no official proclamation has surfaced yet. If these reports hold merit, an imminent announcement from the filmmakers is anticipated. The actor, for now, has remained reticent about his potential involvement in the project.
The Legacy of the Don Franchise
The Don saga traces its roots to 1978, when Amitabh Bachchan gave eternal life to the title role in the first film of the franchise. The classic film premiered on May 12, 1978, and forever changed the face of Indian cinema. Revival came in 2006, with Shah Rukh Khan stepping into Don’s shoes, alongside Priyanka Chopra. Now, Don 3 is set to carry forward the legacy under Farhan Akhtar’s directorial vision. While the release date remains under wraps, insider sources from India Today hint at a potential premiere in June this year.
Vikrant and Ranveer to Collaborate Once More
If Vikrant Massey joins the cast officially, then this will be his second movie with Ranveer. Their first movie together, Lootera, was released in 2013 and also starred Sonakshi Sinha in an important role. Reports suggest that Vikrant is likely to commence filming for Don 3 shortly.
Vikrant’s Recent Ventures and Hiatus from Acting
Last seen in The Sabarmati Report, Vikrant Massey made his way to theaters on November 15, 2024. Among others, his filmography has titles such as Sector 36, 12th Fail, Gaslight, Forensic, and Haseena Dilruba. Following the release of The Sabarmati Report, Vikrant announced a temporary hiatus from acting. Consequently, the buzz surrounding his potential involvement in Don 3 has taken fans by surprise, igniting a flurry of reactions across social media platforms.
