Shah Rukh Khan's 'Don 3' Return: Is Atlee the Key After Ranveer Singh's Exit?

• Ranveer Singh is reportedly out of 'Don 3', not by choice but possibly ousted by makers, despite his recent success with 'Dhurandhar'.
• Speculation suggests Shah Rukh Khan might return to the 'Don' franchise, but only if 'Jawan' director Atlee is brought on board to elevate the sequel.
• Sources indicate that producers Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar initially offered Ranveer 'Don 3' even after a string of his box office failures.
• Farhan Akhtar previously stated that the 'Don 3' script required a 'next-generation actor' and praised Ranveer Singh's untapped mischievous energy for the role.

Why It Matters: Shah Rukh Khan's potential return to 'Don 3' hinges on director Atlee joining, following Ranveer Singh's unexpected exit.
