Rumours About Atlee Directing Don 3 Debunked
After Ranveer Singh exited Don 3, reports suggested Shah Rukh Khan would reprise the role only if Atlee directed the project. Atlee previously worked with SRK in the blockbuster Jawan. However, sources close to the film confirm the rumours are false. Atlee has not been approached and has no involvement in Don 3. Fans’ speculation about him helming the sequel is unfounded.
Atlee’s Track Record With Shah Rukh
Atlee has directed several hits, including Theri, Mersal, and Jawan. In a 2023 interview, he praised working with Shah Rukh Khan. He said, “I learnt a lot from Khan sir by being patient, getting everything right, and taking the film to the next level. My next film will have even better energy, and we’ll make something bigger than Jawan.” Jawan became a ₹1000 crore global hit within 18 days, boosting Atlee’s reputation as a top director.
Don 3 Casting Updates
Earlier, Farhan Akhtar announced Ranveer Singh would play Don in the third film. The teaser showed Ranveer with his back to the camera, lighting a cigarette, and introducing himself as Don. Previous films starred Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. An official cast and director announcement for Don 3 is still pending, and no credible updates suggest Atlee’s involvement.
Clarifying Rumours Amid Speculation
Project insiders confirm Atlee has no connection to Don 3. Moreover, the rumours linking him to Shah Rukh’s next Don project had no official basis. Fans debated the news online, but sources clarified the facts. As a result, attention now shifts to the official announcement, and audiences eagerly await confirmation about the sequel’s director and cast.
