Mumbai: Following the massive success of Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller ‘Dhurandhar’, lead actor Ranveer Singh is learnt to have walked out of Farhan Akhtar-directed ‘Don 3’.
Ranveer seems to be reluctant to feature in back-to-back gangster films post ‘Dhurandhar’, and hence opted out of ‘Don 3’ but chose to go ahead with the shooting of Zombie based film ‘Pralay’, Pinkvilla reported quoting a source.
“He is keen to collaborate with filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Atlee, and at the same time, he doesn’t want to be seen in back-to-back gangster films, especially since Dhurandhar is already established in that space,” the source said.
“Now that he has walked out of Don 3, Ranveer is now personally involved in aligning dates and schedules for Jai Mehta’s film to ensure the film moves quickly,” the source added.
Despite hitting a roadblock, ‘Don 3’ makers are determined to take the film on floors by January end, and have started looking for a new male lead, the report further stated.
The film’s original female lead Kiara Advani had earlier opted out due to pregnancy, and was reportedly replaced by Kriti Sanon.
