After directing “Don” (2006) and “Don 2” (2011), Farhan Akhtar is set to return with the highly anticipated third installment of the franchise. Starring Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani, the film is generating buzz. The latest update reveals that Vikrant Massey has officially joined the cast as the villain, adding an exciting new twist to the storyline.

Yes, you heard that right! A source close to “Don 3” confirmed to “Filmfare” that Vikrant Massey will play the villain in the upcoming crime thriller, which also stars Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani. The source added, “Vikrant is playing the antagonist in ‘Don 3’,” heightening excitement for the much-awaited film.

Earlier speculations suggested that “The Sabarmati Report” actor had been approached for a role in “Don 3”. A report revealed that after his stellar performance in “12th Fail”, the actor entered talks to play the main antagonist opposite Ranveer Singh.

While the role sounded promising, reports mentioned that Vikrant had not yet officially signed on for the project. Now, it seems those talks have turned into confirmation.

In August 2023, Farhan Akhtar made a special announcement, revealing that Ranveer Singh would take on the role of the new mafia kingpin in “Don 3”. He confirmed that filming for the third installment would begin in 2025 and expressed his excitement about the project, saying, “We start filming ‘Don 3’ next year. I am looking forward to it.”

On December 2, 2024, Vikrant Massey announced he would take a brief hiatus from films after completing his next two projects. This decision followed the release of *The Sabarmati Report*. In his heartfelt statement, Vikrant expressed gratitude for the incredible journey and the support he has received over the years.

He shared that as he moves forward, he feels it’s time to take a step back, reconnect with his roots, and focus on his roles as a husband, father, son, and actor. He also hinted at his final two films before the break, promising to return when the time is right.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Vikrant is currently working on “Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan” alongside Shanaya Kapoor. Directed by Santosh Singh, the film is written by Niranjan Iyengar and Mansi Bagla.
