22 Jun – More than a decade since the last "Don" movie, it was reported that Farhan Akhtar has started work on the script for the third instalment. According to Pinkvilla, sources are saying that the director is now postponing his next project, "Jee Le Zara" (following scheduling conflict of its three lead actresses) to spend some time on the upcoming third film, which is said to be long time coming.
It was also reported that Farhan has also discussed the idea with dad Javed Akhtar, who created the first "Don" movie in 1978. The first Don starring Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra, which is the remake of the Amitabh Bachchan 1978 starrer, was released in 2006. The second film, co-produced by SRK, came five years later.
