According to its team, the movie is running on time and is expected to go on floors in 2025. But, a source close to the producers told Zoom that things are not as they appear to be. "Not anytime soon. There is no possibility of the film taking off any time soon. So I don’t know what these assurances mean," the source said.
So when will the project finally take off? "There is no time line. Farhan is busy with his acting assignment (120 Bahadur). As for Don 3, I think the script has gone for a revision."
It may be recalled that Shah Rukh had rejected the offer of Don 3 after hearing the script. Multiple sources reveal that the changes being undertaken in the script are the ones that Shah Rukh Khan had advised.
