Fri August 09th, 2024
Shah Rukh Khan and Farhan Akhtar recreated Amitabh Bachchan's beloved 1978 film Don. The movie came out in 2006, and Don 2, its sequel, came out in 2011. Fans are eagerly awaiting Ranveer Singh's appearance in the film's third installment. The Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara star mentioned that he had originally promised Hrithik Roshan a role in the movie, but ultimately King Khan was cast instead.
Farhan Akhtar recently said in a media chat that he and Hrithik Roshan had a "wonderful time" and a "incredible" time working on Lakshya. Subsequently, he communicated with Roshan about his intention to remake Don. Hrithik responded by telling him that the concept seemed "amazing."

Farhan continued, recalling that he had promised Hrithik that he would deliver it to him after he had completed composing it. The actor did admit, though, that as he was penning the part, the only person who came to mind for the role was Shah Rukh Khan. He revealed, "When I was writing, the only person whose face is popping into my head is Shah Rukh, from what I knew him," stressing not his "cinematic image" but rather their days together at a party and with mutual acquaintances in Delhi.
The actor from Bhaag Milkha Bhaag claimed that Shah Rukh's charisma, wit, and caustic, self-deprecating sense of humor were what led him to believe that he would be the "best actor" for the role.

Farhan has previously given Hrithik a commitment regarding the movie. He then recalled discussing his choice of SRK for the movie with Hrithik. "I'll never forget, he said, ‘Farhan, you’ve to make your film, and in the best way possible. If you think he's the guy, please go ahead and call him. Don't worry about me.' That is a very gracious thing," he further revealed.
It's interesting to note that Hrithik appeared in the 2011 film Don 2 as one of Shah Rukh's personas. Aside from Don, Hrithik and Farhan have collaborated on films such as Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Luck By Chance.
Moving forward, Farhan Akhtar is prepared to direct Don 3, starring Kiara Advani and Ranveer Singh in the key parts.
