‘Don 3’ Exit To Cost Ranveer Singh Rs. 40 Cr After His Decision Caused Makers Major Financial Loss?

Ranveer Singh has been hogging the headlines for his impeccable portrayal of ‘Hamza Ali Mazari’ in Dhurandhar, and fans are now eagerly waiting for the star to return to the big screen with Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. However, there is another project the fans were looking forward to seeing Ranveer in, but unfortunately, the actor decided to leave the film. Yes! We are talking about Don 3, and now it seems like the film is going to cost Ranveer a major financial hit.

Ranveer Singh’s decision to exit Don 3 makes headlines

The internet had an intense reaction when the makers announced that Ranveer Singh would be taking over the role of ‘Don’ in Don 3. However, the buzz further intensified when the reports started making headlines that the actor has decided to exit the film after a major fallout with filmmaker, Farhan Akhtar’s production house, Excel Entertainment, over the highly anticipated Don 3.

While it is not uncommon for actors to have disagreements with the makers, it seems this fallout will cost Ranveer Singh a major hit. According to reports, while Ranveer is basking in the success of Dhurandhar, Excel Entertainment has suffered a massive loss after Ranveer’s departure from Don 3. While neither the actor nor the makers have issued an official statement regarding the fallout, there have been reports of a routine casting change. And now fans are curious to know exactly what is going on between the actor and the film’s makers.

For the unversed, Ranveer Singh allegedly walked away from the highly anticipated Don 3 due to creative differences. When the film was initially announced, the actor had shared how ecstatic he was about the project, which made his exit extremely shocking for the fans. The reports further suggested that the actor had reservations about the script and had requested certain changes. However, the final draft reportedly did not meet his expectations, leading him to make the tough call about his exit. A source said:

“Ranveer claims he left the project because he wasn’t happy with the script. He kept asking for changes to be made and didn’t like what the final draft read. Excel, on the other hand, claims that they went ahead with pre-production only after Singh gave his go-ahead.”

Excel Entertainment demands Rs. 40 crores from Ranveer Singh

On the other hand, the actor’s exit derailed several things for the makers. The source claimed that the production house had already begun pre-production after receiving the actor’s approval. And now, fresh reports have emerged stating that Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment is seeking Rs. 40 crore in compensation from Ranveer Singh for the losses they incurred during the film’s preparation.

However, Ranveer Singh is reportedly pushing back against the demands for compensation. According to reports, he maintains that he should not be held financially responsible because his departure stems from creative dissatisfaction rather than contractual negligence. Now, industry insiders suggest that the Producers Guild of India (PGI) has stepped in to resolve the matter and further discuss it with the actor and the production house.

Will Shah Rukh Khan return to Don 3 after Ranveer Singh’s exit?

Amid the ongoing buzz, rumours are that Shah Rukh Khan might return to Don 3. The actor was previously seen in the original Don (2006) and Don 2 (2011). However, there has been no official confirmation about his return or any new actor being finalised for the role.
