Ranveer Singh Exits Don 3?
Bollywood just woke up to a major plot twist. Right when Ranveer Singh is riding high on the thunderous success of Dhurandhar, reports suggest that the actor has quietly exited Farhan Akhtar’s much-anticipated Don 3.
Ranveer Singh Exits Don 3?
Yes, you read that right. And if the buzz is to be believed, this decision is very deliberate and very Ranveer. Fresh off Dhurandhar inching close to a massive ₹700 crore global haul, Ranveer seems to be rethinking his next moves.
According to a Pinkvilla report, the actor is keen to avoid being boxed into the gangster-action zone for too long. With Dhurandhar already cementing his place in that space, Ranveer reportedly feels it is time to switch gears rather than repeat himself.
Sources claim that this is one of the key reasons why Don 3 has been pushed down his priority list. Instead, Ranveer is fast-tracking Pralay, a zombie thriller directed by Jai Mehta. He is said to be personally involved in sorting dates and schedules to ensure the film goes on floors sooner than originally planned. The idea is simple. Keep things fresh, surprising, and unpredictable.

Ranveer To Fast-Track Pralay; Looking To Change Genres
Interestingly, Ranveer is also said to be keen on collaborating with big-ticket filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Atlee, further signalling a genre shift rather than another stylish gangster outing.
Meanwhile, Don 3 had already locked Kriti Sanon as its leading lady and was set to be shot across stunning European locations. With Ranveer reportedly stepping away, producers are now on the hunt for a new face to take on the iconic Don mantle.
So, who will be the next Don? That mystery remains wide open. One thing is certain though. Ranveer Singh is clearly playing the long game, choosing reinvention over repetition. And honestly, that is very on brand for him!
