New Delhi: Ranveer Singh, celebrated for his magnetic aura and exceptional acting prowess, gears up to breathe new life into the iconic character of ‘Don’. With the curtains rising on one of the most awaited action franchises of 2025, Ranveer Singh's versatile talents are poised to reshape the legacy of the 'Don' series. In a recent social media post shared by Ranveer where he talks about his childhood dream coming true, Zeenat Aman extended her congratulations.

Synonymous with spellbinding narratives, and heart-pounding action, the 'Don' series has held audiences in thrall for years. Ranveer will play the part of Don in Don 3. Shah Rukh Khan played Don in the version of the cult 1978 movie Don, which starred Amitabh Bachchan as the title character and Zeenat Aman as the female lead Roma. 

As Ranveer Singh prepares to step into the role of Don, his screen presence and chameleon-like acting ability promise to reinvent the very essence of the role. Now with Zeenat Aman’s approval, the iconic ‘Jungli Billi’ from the first 'Don' adds more credibility. 

Ranveer Singh recently wrote a detailed note on realising his goal of joining the 'dynasty' of the classic film 'Don'. Zeenat commented, "Congratulations, Ranveer! May you find a worthy 'jungly billi' to your Don."

"Junglee billi" is one of the most memorable lines from the original film, in which Don refers to Roma as a 'junglee billi'.

The film, 'Don 3', will see him collaborate with renowned filmmaker Farhan Akhtar who is going to don the director's hat yet again, with this franchise.

Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar of Excel Entertainment, the film is scheduled to release in 2025.
