Farhan Akhtar announces 'Don 3'; is Ranveer Singh taking ahead from where Shah Rukh Khan left?

There’s a chatter in Tinsel town that Ranveer Singh is the new Don after taking the baton from Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. Bachchan essayed the dual roles of Don and Vijay with an iconic performance, comfortably switching between charm and cheerful silliness back in 1978. 28 years later, Shah Rukh Khan took the same character heads on and added his signature performance to the role. Cut to 2023, the baton has been passed on to Singh, even though an official announcement is awaited.

Singh is a shape-shifter and can get into the skin of any character with effortlessness and ease. With this character driven by swag and style, what can we expect from the star?
