SCOOP: Farhan Akhtar had planned to bring Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Ranveer Singh together in Don 3

Last month, Bollywood Hungama reported that Farhan Akhtar narrated the script of the much-awaited film, Don 3, to its lead actor, Shah Rukh Khan. However, the superstar was not entirely convinced with the idea, due to which Farhan Akhtar decided to go back to the writing table.

SCOOP: Farhan Akhtar had planned to bring Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Ranveer Singh together in Don 3

We have now found interesting details about the script of Don 3 which was narrated by Farhan Akhtar. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Farhan had an ambitious idea of getting Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan together in the third installment. Interestingly, Bachchan saab was the lead in the original Don (1978). It had a different ending and showed the good-natured Vijay surviving and Don dying, while SRK’s version showed vice versa. Hence, it’s not clear whether or not Big B was supposed to play the role from the original version. However, Farhan definitely had thought of casting Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan in Don 3.”

The source continued, “And that’s not all. As per Farhan’s plot, Don 3 was also supposed to have a cameo by Ranveer Singh. He too was going to play Don. The idea was that SRK’s Don character would pass the baton to Ranveer’s Don character so that he can take on the iconic role in the future parts.”

The source added, “Don 3 is one of the most awaited films of all time and if Shah Rukh Khan is joined by Amitabh Bachchan and Ranveer Singh, then it would have also translated into a record-breaking opening, especially if the film had been released on a holiday.”

The source signed off by saying, “Let’s see if Farhan Akhtar fleshes out this idea in a better and more convincing way or does he choose a different plot. Whatever the story idea, whether Shah Rukh Khan stars solo or is joined by other stars, the curiosity, and desperation to see Don 3 will always be sky-high.”

Constantine 2 – a sequel to one of DC’s cult-classic movies is now in the works at Warner Bros. with Keanu Reeves and Francis Lawrence, who made his helming debut on the original, set to reunite.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio is developing a sequel to 2005’s Constantine, the film based on the supernatural DC property. Veteran scribe Akiva Goldsman will write the script and produce via Weed Road Pictures, with J.J. Abrams producing via Bad Robot with Hannah Minghella. The details about the sequel are being kept under wraps at the moment.

As part of an overall deal with Warner Bros., Abrams has also been developing a new Constantine HBO Max-exclusive series, which would be part of a Justice League Dark shared universe. However, according to reports, the HBO Max series is no longer moving forward, although the streamer had been in early talks with an actor for the lead role before the new movie came together.

Four scripts were written for the new adaptation set in contemporary London. In the years since Constantine hit theaters, Matt Ryan has played the character in both live-action (NBC’s Constantine series, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) and animation (Justice League Dark). Jenna Coleman also plays a gender-swapped version of Constantine in Netflix’s The Sandman.
