It isn’t Don 3 without SRK that surprised me, what surprised me is how can a filmmaker think about casting someone else over SRK when it comes to negative role.

‘Don’ is one of the most iconic Bollywood characters. The crime lord and gangster is known for being clever, cunning and ruthless. He has the knack to outsmart and catch his opponents unaware with ease.
Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan played the character in the 1978 film. ‘Don‘ was remade in 2006 with Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas playing leading roles in it.
