Ranveer Singh Teams Up With Dhurandhar Director Again, Don 3 Exit Confirmed
The star-director duo prepares for their third collaboration while Farhan Akhtar loses his Don

The Ranveer Singh-Aditya Dhar magic is set to continue. Fresh off the massive success of Dhurandhar 2, the director-actor combination that has delivered two consecutive blockbusters is officially reuniting for a third project.
Industry sources confirm that Aditya Dhar has already pitched his new concept to Ranveer Singh, who has given his preliminary approval to the venture. The project, currently in scripting stages, is targeting a March 2027 production start: a timeline that reflects Dhar's methodical approach to filmmaking.
This collaboration news comes alongside confirmation that Ranveer Singh has walked away from Farhan Akhtar's Don 3, a decision that appears directly linked to his commitment to the Dhurandhar director. Post the franchise's phenomenal run, both Ranveer and Dhar have become hot properties in the industry, with the actor commanding significantly higher fees for his upcoming projects.
Dhar's reputation for taking his time with script development is well-established, and given the massive expectations following Dhurandhar's success, the director is being extra cautious with his next move. This patient approach has clearly paid dividends for the filmmaker, who has built a franchise that resonates across pan-India audiences.
Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh has his immediate schedule packed with Pralay, a zombie thriller that begins production later this year. The actor's decision to prioritize his Dhar collaboration over the Don franchise speaks volumes about the creative partnership they've forged.
For Telugu cinema enthusiasts, this reunion represents more than just another project: it's validation of how our industry's storytelling sensibilities are now driving major Bollywood decisions. When a director who understands mass appeal gets multiple chances with A-list stars, it signals a shift in how the film industry values proven track records over marquee names alone.
