Deepika to not star in Don 3, confirms producer Ritesh Sidhwani

Reports that the makers of Don are planning the next instalment of the series have been around for a long time now. Recently, it was also being reported that gorgeous Deepika Padukone has been cast opposite Shah Rukh Khan, replacing Priyanka Chopra, who played the female lead in Don and Don 2.

However, producer Ritesh Sidhwani has rubbished all reports saying that Deepika has not been signed for Don 3. The producer recently threw a bash to celebrate the runaway success of his latest production, Fukrey Returns. "Deepika is not part of Don 3, he said at the bash.


Talking about Don 3, Sidhwani said, "We are working on that and very soon we will announce that also. Now we have produced comedy and next, from our side, will be 3 Storeys which will be a completely different film releasing in February."

"Then we are coming up with Gold and Gully Boy, so all these films are different in terms of genre and none of them are (is) comedies, so I think people should follow what they believe in and the kind of stories they want to tell. If you try to do the same thing or emulate something which is not inherent, I don't think success will come your way,” he added.

Don and Don 2 were box office hits at the box office. We hope Don 3 turns out to be a bigger hit, whenever the film comes out.

TroyBoi returns to his Indian roots with Rootz EP using Lata Mangeshkar’s voice to redefine British diaspora music

Highlights:

  • TroyBoi’s five-track EP Rootz is a personal return to the sounds of his childhood, released via Ultra Records in September 2025.
  • The single Kabhi uses an officially cleared sample of Lata Mangeshkar’s vocal from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.
  • Collaborations with Amrit Maan, Jazzy B and BombayMami plug Punjabi, Bhangra and south-Asian textures directly into modern trap and bass production.
  • This EP is part of a wider wave: British artists born into diasporas are using heritage not as garnish but as foundation.

Some albums hit you in ways you don’t see coming. Rootz is one of them. Not just another trap EP. TroyBoi, the London-born producer known for global bass and trap, has made something that’s also deeply personal. He didn’t just want to make music that bangs in clubs; instead, he wanted to reach back to the India of his childhood. And he did it with Rootz.

The track everyone’s talking about is Kabhi. Because it’s not just sampling Bollywood. Lata Mangeshkar’s voice was officially cleared for use on a non-Bollywood release, a milestone reported by multiple outlets. It’s history. It’s memory. And it’s a bridge.
