Farhan Akhtar References Ranveer Singh's Don 3 Exit Amid Scheduling Challenges
Farhan Akhtar recalled how Saif Ali Khan nearly quit his debut film Dil Chahta Hai due to a scheduling conflict shortly before filming began, describing it as a heartbreaking situation. During this reflection, Farhan made a subtle remark about a similar recent incident involving Ranveer Singh's exit from Don 3 just weeks before shooting, calling it "a pattern nowadays" without naming Ranveer directly. The Don 3 controversy involved legal disputes and industry reactions but remains unresolved. Farhan emphasized that such situations are not unique to him.
