Filmmaker Farhan Akhtar has confirmed a major update regarding the highly anticipated action franchise instalment, Don 3, revealing that the principal photography featuring new lead Ranveer Singh is scheduled to commence in 2026.

Director and actor Farhan Akhtar shared a humorous memory from the sets of Don, recalling the time Shah Rukh Khan, his friend and lead actor, attempted to give him a neck massage, which resulted in his neck getting "completely jammed."

Farhan Akhtar has revealed the significant professional and personal toll caused by the continuous delays of his directorial film, Jee Le Zaraa, citing scheduling conflicts with the lead stars, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, and Alia Bhatt, which led to self-doubt about his directing skills.
