Shah Rukh Khan to kick-off Don 3 in Malaysia at year-end?

After opting out of Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapur’s much-talked-about project Saare Jahan Se Accha, a biopic on Indian astronaut Rakesh Sharma, superstar Shah Rukh Khan will soon immerse himself totally in Excel Entertainment’s Don 3, the third instalment of his successful film franchise Don (2006).

The megastar quit Saare Jahan Se Accha so that he could accommodate his dates for action-thriller Don 3. The latest we hear that director Farhan Akhtar, who is also co-producing the film with Ritesh Sidhwani, has quietly begun working on Don 3. If reports are to be believed, the movie will start rolling by the end of the year in Malaysia.


“Farhan and Shah Rukh had been looking for a suitable story to take the franchise forward, and now, they have zeroed in on one. The developing of the script will take a few months. In the meantime, Farhan will shoot for his sports drama, Toofan, while SRK will be busy with the Indian Premier League,” a source informed.

Farhan Akhtar is presently busy promoting his next production venture Gully Boy, starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. The film, helmed by Zoya Akhtar, is set to release on 14th February, 2019.

Rishab Shetty channels the spirit of Raj Kapoor and Guru Dutt in Kantara Chapter 1

Rishab Shetty revives Raj Kapoor and Guru Dutt’s golden era through 'Kantara Chapter 1'

Highlights:

  • Shetty moves from regional hit to franchise builder with Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1
  • The original Kantara put his name on the map; the new film widens the canvas
  • He writes, directs and acts- the rare triple threat Indian cinema once celebrated
  • The work is rooted in folklore and ritual, not spectacle, and that still lands with audiences
  • It’s a practical, working model of old-school creative vision today

Rishab Shetty’s path feels oddly familiar. Indian cinema once had figures who wrote, directed and starred in their own films, names such as Guru Dutt and Raj Kapoor. It looks like Shetty does the same work now. After the success of Kantara, he returned with the newly released Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1, again as actor, writer and director. The result is less a throwback and more a clear line of continuity: cinema made by one person who will not cede the story.
