It’s hard to say whether the blind item below is true or not. Still, we are going to go with #fakenews. See, this actor has been dying to do another film for this franchise. He has been after this director for a long time now, but the director himself was bitten by the acting and singing bug so he didn’t want to immerse himself in writing another film . There was also the issue of this actor and his female co-star in the film. Two years ago or so, when the actor was eager to do another film, he was still on good terms with his co-star. So much so that he even let her borrow his jacket on a cold night (wink-wink).
For over a year now, the actor and actress have not been on talking terms and everyone assumed that the franchise is dead and there’s no coming back from that. Honestly though, they should have killed off her character in the first one. The only reason they retained her for the second part was because she became even more famous by the time they had to shoot the film. Still, if they retain both of characters then it will become another ‘Dhoom’ and you know what people say about Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra’s roles right? That they are not good cops because in every film from that franchise they were unsuccessful in catching the thieves.
So, if they had a new leading lady for every film in this franchise, it will make the films even more interesting. The first one was good, it was fresh for movie fans who have not seen the original one. The actor and actress both looked really good in the first one.
The second one felt forced. Like the director was expected to write the film and direct it just to please the actors and fans. The lead actor was a huge letdown in the second part, that’s how we felt. He went a bit over in portraying his character. Now, the actor is busy doing all sorts of things, like a headless chicken; trying this or that, chasing that box office hit like crazy.
If the blind item ends up as being true, then they should do a completely new one: new story from scratch, new actors and other new things. It’s like they did with ‘X-Men’. It will be interesting to see if this director/actor dares to take this film to another actor. Don’t one will dare to cross this actor, especially at this stage of his career.
It’s better they don’t continue with this franchise unless they start afresh again. Speaking of starting afresh, the actress is back on Mumbai soil with her alleged new boy to supposedly introduce him to her family. Do you think she brought him or he wanted to come? If she did, did she do that to make the actor jealous?

Bollywood Blind Item
This superstar maybe replaced by another actor in the next film of a successful franchise
The superstar may lose the role of an iconic character which he has been playing in the last two franchise of the film. The director has met another actor and plans to take the franchise forward with him.
The superstar may lose the role of an iconic character which he has been playing in the last two franchise of the film. The reason we are saying this is that the director of the film has met another actor and has had two meetings with him and plans to go ahead with him.
The franchise apparently has been on hold because of the fallout between the superstar and actress of the film which resulted in the producers of the film putting the next installment of the film on hold. But, now the banner also does not really have a good slate and the writer-director and actor of the film has finished writing the film and wants to take it on the floor. The superstar has also got busy experimenting with cinema which has not had worked for him.
This iconic character is something people identify with him which actually is borrowed from another superstar of the ’70s. We hope the superstar realises that fans love seeing him in such films and prevents the makers from going to another actor and grab the chance to become the iconic character which has gone missing for nearly seven years.

Superstar: Shah Rukh Khan
Director: Farhan Akhtar
Franchise: Don
Actress: Priyanka Chopra
Fake blind. If they have mentioned the other actor replacing SRK I would have believed it. Maybe Farhan planted this so that SRK will sign the movie if he heard that Farhan is in talks with another actor for the role. A couple of months back there was news articles saying DP replaced PC in Don 3 (later it was denied).
@monalisa farhan has no time t write or direct don3 he just signed a movie with PC
@guest,Which movie did farhan sign? Is it that shonali bose one?
@amanda yes. The Shonali Bose one.
Farhan is busy taking shirt less selfies while going through mid life crisis. PC is busy with her PR linkup giving other PR couple in bw a run for their mobey. Srk is busy saving his career. None of the people involved in the don franchise has time for don3 .
The one thing I have noticed is any time pc is about to land in Mumbai a lot pc /srk reminders /blinds appear this might be one of them.
Bdw, what’s up with miss Priyanka? I think nobody noticed her alleged romance in US so she brought the guy here in Mumbai 😛
No one In the US cared two hoots about her fake relationship with Jonas; it did not do anything for her SRK-aided Hollywood career. The eternal feminist can’t get any work there without SRK. So onto Plan B – sucking up to Salman and his family! Maybe she brought Jonas here so the Bollywood wives would allow her to work with their husbands! LOL!
Don 1 was at the time when SRK was trying to do whatever Big B did. From KBC to Don remake. Tbh, he can never match Big B’s acting prowess. May be in other things he can (wink).
And now SRK is again doing whatever Big B did when his career was fading and he forcefully held on to the hero roles. Look at Zero, is a midget movie anything new? I think he should accept that he can no longer romance heroines half his age and focus on business. He has always been a better businessman than an actor.
I looooooooved the first Don especially the music. It was a lot of fun and SRK Priyanka looked so good together. I am still pissed at them for messing that up.
Don 2 wasn’t as entertaining as the first one but still good enough. ( I will give it just for the “Mr. malik, aap meri maaa ko nahin jaanti thi) Don is one of SRK’s most popular characters. i dont think Farhan and Ritesh will piss off SRK by taking someone else and face the wrath of SRK’s fans.
I wouldnt mind don 3 as long as they get PC on board. Sounds impossible but if they manage to do that, hello 300 crores)
Now Excel releases rumours about Don 3 everytime they have a new movie for release. They have Gold releasing in a couple of months so this could be just that.
Very fake. Either it will happen with srk or with nobody.
Agree with you admin! They could get a new leading lady if that is the only reason for removing SRK.
Anyway srk is in such a time that he doesn’t look good as a romantic hero. With the help of vfx and body double he still can work for action movies. Dunno who is the new actor for don? Any idea?
It’s unlikely Don 3 will be made. And even if it happens, it will be SRK only.. The actress may probably change… Farhan won’t take any panga with SRK…
Maybe Ranveer.
