The buzz around Don 3 just got more intriguing! A recent report claims that actor Vikrant Massey has been roped in for a pivotal role in the Ranveer Singh-starrer and, surprisingly, he will play the villain. But this has left fans confused—if Don himself is the villain, what does Vikrant’s role entail?
Traditionally, the Don franchise has revolved around the protagonist being the anti-hero. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s Don thrived on his unpredictability, and Ranveer Singh’s version is expected to bring a similar flamboyance. However, if Vikrant is the antagonist, does that mean the film will have two villains? Or could Vikrant’s character be an anti-hero in his own right, challenging Don’s dominance in the world of crime?
A recent report by Filmfare described Vikrant as an ‘unlikely but effective’ villain, which hints at a cerebral adversary rather than a typical brawny antagonist. Vikrant, known for his intense performances in films like Sector 36, 12th Fail, could bring a layered complexity to the role. But the real question remains—if Don has a villain, then what will Ranveer’s Don be up to? Will they be rivals, reluctant allies, or is there another antagonist altogether?
With no official confirmation from the makers, speculation is at its peak. One thing is certain – if Vikrant is indeed joining Don 3, it’s going to be an electrifying battle of wits and power.
People have been waiting impatiently for the new ‘Don’ from highly anticipated Don 3, directed by Farhan Akhtar.
In August 2023, Farhan had, in a special announcement video, revealed that Ranveer will be the new Don in the third film of the hit franchise. In the teaser, Ranveer was seen seated in a building with his back to the camera. He lit up a cigarette, introduced himself as Don, and then turned to face the camera.
Don starred Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Boman Irani in prominent roles. The film was released in 2006 and its sequel was released in 2011, titled Don: The Chase Begins Again. Both the film were packed with action, drama and twists.
