Farhan Akhtar's third installment of Don has already garnered enough attention even before its official announcement. Amid the rumors of Ranveer Singh replacing Shah Rukh Khan as the new Don, the filmmaker dropped the announcement teaser for Don 3.

The latest teaser for Don 3 has put all speculation around the movie's third installment to rest. On Instagram, Farhan Akhtar shared the announcement teaser and wrote, 'A new era begins.'


However, while announcing the beginning of Don 3, the filmmaker did not reveal the cast of the much-anticipated film. If reports are to be believed, Ranveer Singh will be seen playing the new Don in the cult classic. He will be replacing Shah Rukh Khan, who has played the menacing gangster in the first two parts of Don.

However, neither Farhan nor Ranveer have confirmed the news.

Right now, he is in the process of completing the script. Even all of us are eagerly waiting to see 'Don'.'
