Farhan Akhtar revealed the reason for casting Ranveer Singh instead of Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Don 3’ on Raj Shamani’s podcast. Farhan said, “The kind of script we were writing, what I wanted to do with it… it’s too early to talk about it so I can’t tell about it in detail. But it needed a next generation actor.”
Farhan further said, “He is a very charming boy. He is attractive, he is mischievous. He is full of energy, which is what they need. I think when it comes to this aspect of his performance, it is still untapped. I don’t think he has played such a role. According to Farhan, except for Vikramaditya Motwane’s film Lootera, the ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ actor has mostly played loud characters.

It happens. Sometimes the chemistry doesn’t work out on a script. It didn’t work out on this one. So we said we’ve done two films together that are really fun and amazing, let’s just…”
