Hrithik Roshan Clarifies His Status in Don 3: 'I Was Never Approached'
The world of Bollywood is abuzz with speculation, especially when it comes to casting changes and rumors. In the latest development, Hrithik Roshan has finally broken his silence on the rumors surrounding his involvement in Don 3, putting an end to the speculation once and for all. But here's where it gets controversial...
The Rumor Mill:
After Ranveer Singh's unexpected exit from the upcoming actioner Don 3, rumors swirled that Hrithik Roshan was set to take his place. Some reports claimed that after Singh parted ways from the project, Roshan might be replacing him in Farhan Khan's action-packed film. This sparked curiosity among fans and cine buffs alike, leaving many to wonder if the iconic 'Krrish' actor would step into the shoes of the legendary Don.
Hrithik's Clarification:
However, Hrithik Roshan has now set the record straight. In an exclusive interview with Variety India, he confirmed that he was never approached for Don 3. The 'Fighter' star expressed that the rumors had taken on a life of their own, and it was important for him to clarify the situation. He stated, "I would like to categorically clarify that I was never approached for Don 3 at any given time. I request the media to steer clear of any such unverified reports."
The Don 3 Saga:
Don 3, a highly anticipated sequel to the iconic Don series, has been making headlines for all the right reasons. After the massive success of Don (2006) and Don 2, starring Shah Rukh Khan, the makers announced Don 3 with Ranveer Singh in the lead. However, after the record-breaking success of Dhurandhar, Singh reportedly parted ways from the project to focus on his upcoming movie, Pralay, with director Jai Mehta. This left a void that many speculated Hrithik Roshan might fill.
Hrithik's Expanding Horizons:
While Hrithik Roshan has put an end to the Don 3 rumors, he is not slowing down. The versatile actor is all set to star in Krrish 4, which will also mark his directorial debut. Rakesh Roshan, the iconic director, has exclusively informed Pinkvilla that he is passing the baton of directing Krrish 4 to his son, Hrithik. This marks a significant milestone for the Roshan family, as Hrithik has lived, breathed, and dreamed about this franchise since its inception.
But that's not all! Hrithik will also be stepping into the world of production with his company, HRX Films. He has already announced Storm as his first production venture, helmed by Ajitpal Singh. The movie will reportedly star an ensemble cast, including Parvathy Thiruvothu, Alaya F, Srishti Shrivastava, Rrama Sharma, Rajit Kapur, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Saba Azad. So, while Hrithik may not be joining the Don 3 cast, he is certainly making waves in other exciting projects.
What's Next for Hrithik?
As Hrithik Roshan continues to explore new horizons in acting, direction, and production, fans can't help but wonder what's next for the iconic 'Krrish' actor. Will he take on more production ventures? Will we see him in a different genre? And what about his directorial debut? These questions and more will keep the Bollywood buzz alive, leaving fans eager to see what Hrithik has in store for them next.
