The highly anticipated ‘Don 3’ is currently in a state of turmoil. Rumors are rife that Ranveer Singh’s sudden exit from the project has led producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani to seek legal recourse. Reportedly, Excel Entertainment is demanding ₹40 crore as compensation for the massive losses incurred during pre-production after the actor decided to prioritize Jay Mehta’s ‘Pralay’ over the iconic franchise.

Sources claim that Ranveer was constantly demanding changes to the script, which led to creative differences. Farhan Akhtar, who had previously defended Ranveer against fan backlash, has reportedly severed ties on social media. While the Producers Guild of India is trying to mediate, Ranveer is refusing to pay the penalty. Meanwhile, fans are buzzing with excitement over the possibility of Shah Rukh Khan returning to the franchise. Will the legal battle end in a settlement, or is this the end of the road for Ranveer as the new Don?
