Emraan Hashmi Dispels Don 3 Rumors: Clarifies He Was Never Approached for the Movie
Emraan Hashmi’s fans anticipating his return as a villain in “Don 3” will be disappointed, as the actor himself has refuted rumors of his involvement in the upcoming film. On February 21, 2024, Emraan addressed the speculation through his Instagram story, clarifying, “For the fans and journalists that are asking, I was never a part of Don 3. Was never offered the movie.” This revelation comes after weeks of conjecture sparked by his visit to Excel Entertainment’s office, the production house behind the Don franchise.
The news of Ranveer Singh stepping into the role of the new Don and Kiara Advani as the female lead had already captivated fans, some of whom had hoped to see Emraan join the cast in a negative role, especially after his performance in “Tiger 3.” However, Emraan’s confirmation has extinguished that possibility.

He also expressed admiration for Shah Rukh Khan’s portrayal in the 2006 reboot, acknowledging the profound impact both actors had on the franchise.
