Farhan Akhtar takes a dig at Ranveer Singh’s exit from ‘Don 3’

Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Don 3’, which was as soon as purported to star Ranveer Singh, has not even begun capturing, however the movie has been on the centre of a protracted controversy for months. The controversy surrounding the movie started in 2025 when Ranveer Singh reportedly exited the venture, simply weeks earlier than the movie was scheduled to go on flooring. What adopted was a dispute between the actor and filmmaker, with a number of stakeholders finally turning into concerned within the fallout.

Now, whereas discussing 25 years of ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, Farhan appeared to make a pointed, albeit playful, comment about Ranveer, with out mentioning his title.

Farhan was talking concerning the difficulties of locking actors’ dates for his debut movie ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ in a chat with ‘The Hollywood Reporter India’. Recalling how Saif Ali Khan nearly walked out of the venture shortly earlier than filming, Farhan mentioned the actor had a scheduling battle with one other movie.

“Saif instantly had some date difficulty with one other movie that he was gonna do. The dates shifted and he was form of half in, half out on that. So, he was in a little bit of a spot and he needed to depart the movie. And all people tried to persuade him, like, ‘Yaar, please’. And for me, I used to be identical to, my head was, like, destroyed. As a result of after we received, once I met him, after we received into it, there was no person else who may have performed that half. It was simply not possible.”

Farhan then appeared to attract a parallel with the uncertainty filmmakers can face at this time. “So, like, that was too heartbreaking for me. Not, perhaps 10 days, I feel it was perhaps a few month away from filming, which appears to be a sample these days,” he mentioned, earlier than smilingly including, “Not simply with me. Aisa bhi hota hai. Huh?” Whereas Farhan didn’t title Ranveer, the comment inevitably brings the ‘Don 3’ row to thoughts, provided that the actor’s reported exit got here solely weeks earlier than the movie was anticipated to start manufacturing.
