Ranveer Singh Quits Don 3 Despite Dhurandhar’s Box Office Success

Udaipur, Dec 24, 2025: Ranveer Singh, the actor who has taken the internet and theatres by storm with his spy-thriller Dhurandhar, has reportedly pulled out of the highly anticipated film Don 3. He is choosing to focus on his next major action movie, Pralay, following the success of Dhurandhar. According to industry sources, this decision reflects both the momentum Ranveer has gained in action-oriented roles and the demands of his busy schedule.

This news has surprised some fans, who were expecting Ranveer to star in Don 3, the next installment of the iconic franchise that began with Shah Rukh Khan in the title role. Although Ranveer’s promotional material for Don 3 was released in August 2023, there had been speculation about his participation in the film in recent months. Now, a report by Pinkvilla suggests that his creative energies and schedule are fully dedicated to the ambitious project Pralay.

Dhurandhar Reignites Ranveer’s Career

Dhurandhar has become one of the biggest hits of Ranveer Singh’s career, marking a turning point not only commercially but also in how audiences view his versatility in high-octane roles. With Pralay, Ranveer is expected to take things further, embracing a story that promises large-scale action and dramatic depth.

According to reports, Ranveer’s decision to leave Don 3 is mainly due to scheduling conflicts and the need to focus on specific projects. In the film industry, timelines often clash, and actors frequently juggle two or three commitments at once. Ranveer’s team reportedly chose to streamline his projects to ensure quality and continuity.

What Ranveer’s Exit Means for Don 3

Don 3 remains a profitable and significant franchise. With Ranveer stepping away, the producers may now look at casting other bankable stars or adjusting the project schedule. While official confirmation is still awaited, his exit has surprised fans, as many expected him to take on Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic role after the success of Dhurandhar.
