What Farhan Akhtar said About Don 3

Don is one of the most successful works of Farhan Akthar which was originally starred by Amitabh Bachchan. Farhan managed to create a new character out of the old one with Shah Rukh Khan. Now, everywhere Farhan goes, he is questioned about Don 3. So, today we are here with what he has to say about it. 

When Arbaaz asked him about it on his show, Farhan said, “As far as Don is concerned I was a big fan of Mr. Bachchan. I remember when I had watched the film Don, the first character where he plays Don, I got scared of that guy. ‘This is my hero and he’s such a scary, vicious, mean violent person,’ so that had stayed with me in my head for a long time. Then there were the characters of the film, there’s modernity in the screenplay itself. I told Zoya, Don is such an amazing film and it will translate so well in today’s times, someone should make the film. She said, ‘I should just remind you that you are a director too. Why don’t you make it?’ I said it sounds like a good idea.”

Talking about giving the story a new twist Farhan added, “Then I thought would have to do something new. So then I remembered there was this character of Don made me really scared. That was a magnetic character and the dialogue ‘Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi na mumkin hai’. I wanted to give that character and dialogue a new meaning, where it is literally impossible to catch him, not just for the characters in the film but for the audience too.” The filmmaker added, “In the end when he gets away, you feel the weight of the dialogue.”

He says that the fire for Don 3 has fueed his interaction with his followers.
