Farhan Akhtar calls the latest news about Don 3 false

After the huge success of Shah Rukh Khan’s Don and Don 2, the audience has been waiting for Don 3, the third instalment of the super-hit film series, for quite a long time now.

While the makers have time and again said that the work is underway for Don 3, a recent story published in a leading Indian daily reported that Farhan Akhtar, the co-producer of the franchise, and his team have already locked the script and that the former will also be seen in the film, in the role of a cop, along with superstar Shah Rukh Khan.


However, as soon as Akhtar came to know about the false news, he immediately took to Twitter to rubbish it. "Request those who conjure up news about #Don3 without any fact checking to please refrain. It is not fair to raise expectations of the film's fanbase via false news," the actor-producer tweeted.

With his tweet, the actor-producer has requested everyone, especially media outlets, to not spread false rumours about his film. We hope that his request does not fall on deaf ears and journalists crosscheck their facts before putting stories, not just about celebrities but anyone in general.
