Ranveer Singh to Stay Silent on Don 3; Farhan Akhtar in Talks with Salman Khan for New ProjectPreviousNext

Ranveer Singh has decided to remain silent on the Don 3 controversy and will not give interviews for the next 18 months, reportedly until the release of Jay Mehta's Pralay. Despite rumors, he has not publicly addressed the dispute with Don 3's producers. Meanwhile, Farhan Akhtar, facing uncertainty over Don 3 after Ranveer's exit amid creative differences, is reportedly in early talks with Salman Khan for a separate large-scale period action drama. The Don 3 project remains on hold amid ongoing legal and production issues.
