She used her time in India to align the talks and figure out her next project in the Hindi film industry,” Hindustan Times reported quoting a source.

After Ranveer Singh was announced for the titular role in Don 3, SRK fans were unhappy with this decision, following which Ranveer came forward and assured franchise’s fans and shared a heartfelt note praising the previous two faces of Don series.

‘My two supernovas, The Big B and SRK, I hope I can make you proud,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, Don 3 is expected to go on the floors next year and release in the second half of 2025.
