New Delhi: Farhan Akhtar knows how to pique interest and this time is no exception. Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar have recently sent a ripple of excitement through the industry and amongst fans with a cryptic announcement marked by a tantalizing '3'. The symbolic '3' indicates a new addition to a much-loved franchise ‘Don’. Farhan Akhtar announced the upcoming film in an Instagram post today.

The series is said to end with 'Don: The Final Chapter,' the third chapter. The series began when Excel Entertainment, headed by Javed Akhtar and Salim Khan, purchased the rights to the 1978 film of the same name, which starred Amitabh Bachchan.

In Farhan's latest post, the slogan, "A New Era Begins," echoed throughout the "Don"-themed commercial.

Some rumours have suggested that the upcoming film's lead role of Don would be played by Ranveer Singh rather than Shah Rukh Khan. The cast and crew of the film, however, have not verified the reports.
