10 Aug - While many would like to see Shah Rukh Khan returning as Don in the third instalment of the franchise, director Farhan Akhtar's recent announcement seem to extinguish that hope. In a statement released via social media after teasing fans with a clip announcing "Don 3" and the words, "A New Era Begins", Farhan stated, "In 1978, a character created by Salim-Javed and portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan with effortless elan, captured the imagination of theatregoers across the country. That enigmatic character was Don. In 2006, Don was reimagined and brought to life by Shah Rukh Khan in his own irresistibly charming way."
