Not gonna lie it was a bittersweet moment when I heard the news about Ranveer Singh being cast in Don 3. Years ago when Don was being remade I was nervous cos Amitabh Bachchan had done such a good role. I mean he’s a legend! The film was great too, the story, the cast & the songs

It is pertinent to mention that Amitabh Bachchan portrayed the calculating character in the original.

A sequel was released in 2011, with Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas reprising the roles.
