Reportedly, the third installment in the 'Don' series has finally got a title too. According to an entertainment portal, the film has also been titled and it will be called 'Don: The Final Chapter'. Yes, you read that right!
As the name suggests, 'Don 3' will be the last film in the hit franchise.
Speaking about the same, a source told CineBlitz that, "Shah Rukh Khan and Excel Entertainment have finally locked on to the script. Don: The Final Chapter will be full of action and trickery. But it all ends! They thought it would be nice to give the franchise a great end, rather than dragging it. And hence, they’ve come up with a great climax that will have everyone stunned."

Actor & director of the 'Don' series, Farhan Akhtar might also be seen playing an important role in 'Don: The Final Chapter'. Both the previous 'Don' films featured 'desi girl' Priyanka Chopra opposite Shah Rukh Khan. However, the latest reports suggest that PeCee will not be a part of the upcoming 'Don' film and a new face will be paired opposite SRK as it is said to be the story's demand. Now, it'll be interesting to see who will romance Shah Rukh Khan in the much-anticipated film.
However, the official announcement regarding 'Don 3' is still awaited.
For the uninitiated, the first part of the franchise titled 'Don: The Case Begins', the reboot of Amitabh Bachchan's 1978 film 'Don', released in 2006 whereas 'Don 2' released in 2011.
