Shobhaa De Claims 'Conspiracy' Over Ranveer Singh, Don 3
Veteran writer Shobhaa De has alleged a “ugly conspiracy” against filmmaker Aditya Dhar and producer Dhurandhar, stemming from the ongoing controversy surrounding Ranveer Singh’s casting in ‘Don 3’. De's comments, shared on her Instagram account, suggest a deliberate attempt to undermine Dhar and Dhurandhar’s work.
The dispute involves Ranveer Singh’s reported replacement of Shah Rukh Khan as the lead in the upcoming film, ‘Don 3’, directed by Aditya Dhar. Initial reports suggested that Farhan Akhtar, the original director of the ‘Don’ franchise, was unhappy with the change. However, those reports remain unconfirmed.
De’s Instagram post praised Ranveer Singh for his handling of the situation, without explicitly detailing the nature of the alleged conspiracy. The post has garnered considerable attention and sparked debate among fans and industry insiders regarding the behind-the-scenes dynamics of the film production. The original 'Don' films, starring Shah Rukh Khan, were hugely popular, and any casting change has naturally drawn significant scrutiny.
While the specifics of the alleged conspiracy remain unclear, De’s statement adds another layer of complexity to the already developing narrative surrounding ‘Don 3’. The film, expected to continue the legacy of the iconic franchise, is currently in production, and details about the plot and cast remain largely under wraps. The involvement of Aditya Dhar, known for his work in films like 'Uri: The Surgical Strike', has also heightened expectations for the project. Further updates are awaited regarding the resolution of this matter and the film’s progress.
