The first look of “Don 3” has been unveiled, and Ranveer Singh has stepped into Shah Rukh Khan’s shoes to embody the iconic role of Don. While some have embraced Ranveer’s portrayal as Don, many others have expressed that Shah Rukh’s irreplaceable presence is missed, leading to disappointment for some fans.
The video commences with Ranveer seated, his back to the camera. He dons a jacket and boots, lighting a cigarette. He delivers the classic “11 mulkon ki police” dialogue and introduces himself as Don.
Ranveer shared the video across his official social media accounts with the caption “A New Era Begins. #Don3.”
Here’s what netizens are saying about Ranveer’s portrayal as Don:
A user commented, “No one can surpass Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan! They are legends! Do you think Ranveer is the new Amitabh or the new Shah Rukh of this generation?”
Another user expressed, “The teaser felt somewhat lackluster, lacking the sense of menace! Amitabh Bachchan portrayed the role effortlessly, while Shah Rukh was the real DON. This teaser comes off as disrespectful and almost like a parody of the franchise.”
The third user stated, “Mza nahi aya…thumps up ka Ad lag rha hai!”
Regarding the Don franchise, the initial “Don” film was released in 2006, followed by “Don 2” in 2011, both featuring Shah Rukh Khan in the titular role. However, this time, director Farhan Akhtar has chosen to entrust Ranveer with the task of bringing Don to life on the silver screen. Both “Don” and “Don 2” were massive blockbusters, and the release of the “Don 3” teaser has further heightened expectations among fans, making it one of the most eagerly anticipated films.
In this new era of “Don,” as Ranveer takes on the mantle, the debate continues among fans about his ability to live up to the legacy set by Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, making the anticipation for “Don 3” even more intense.
