However, there are some who believe that the actor will do a good job in filling Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan’s shoes.

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. 

The franchise was revamped in 2006, with Shah Rukh Khan replacing ‘Big B’ in the role. Priyanka Chopra Jonas played the female protagonist, while Isha Koppikar and Boman Irani played secondary antagonists.

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