# Bollywood Bombshell: Ranveer Singh Fires Back at Farhan Akhtar Over Don 3 Chaos – Hrithik Roshan in the Mix? Is the iconic **Don 3** franchise crumbling before it even starts? Ranveer Singh just unleashed explosive claims against Farhan Akhtar and Excel Entertainment, accusing them of unprofessionalism and secretly eyeing Hrithik Roshan for the role.[3][4] Three years after the big announcement, **Don 3** – the next chapter in the legendary saga starring Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan – is mired in controversy. Ranveer, fresh off the blockbuster success of *Dhurandhar*, reportedly walked away during heated Producers Guild-mediated meetings. He slammed Excel for lacking a "bound script," ignoring his feedback on subplots, and prioritizing Farhan's other projects, leaving him in "three years of indecision."[1][3][4] Adding fuel to the fire, Ranveer alleged Excel considered **Hrithik Roshan** as Don and only circled back to him post-*Dhurandhar* to ride his wave of success.[3][4][5] Farhan's camp fires back hard. They insist Ranveer was "enthusiastic" about the role, approved script drafts at every stage, and never raised issues before.[1][5] Excel claims they shelled out on advanced pre-production – hiring heads of departments who now seek other gigs – and is demanding a whopping **₹40 crore** in damages from Ranveer for the fallout.[2][3] Whispers of Ranveer's "unreasonable demands," like seven vanity vans and an on-set DJ, have also surfaced, though unconfirmed.[1][5] The drama peaked in back-to-back meetings: the first examined both sides calmly, but the second turned into a showdown, with no resolution in sight.[3][4] As Excel pushes for reimbursement and curbs on "actor tantrums," Ranveer says he bailed to "save his sanity" from a mishandled potential hit.[3][4]
