Ever since Shah Rukh Khan's last release, Zero fared poorly at the box office, the actor seems to have been hesitant about signing other projects. While there were initial reports that he was supposed to be a part of the Rakesh Sharma biopic, the actor opted out of it. Rumours suggested that Shah Rukh seemed sceptical about taking up anything experimental after the response he received for Zero. If recent reports are to go by, the actor may not be starring in Farhan Akhtar's Don 3 too.

According to latest reports, Shah Rukh has dropped out of the much-anticipated third instalment of the Don series and guess who may be stepping into his shoes? Well, one actor who has been riding high on the success of his recent releases, Ranveer Singh may be the most preferred choice. After the recent success of Gully Boy and his previous collaborations with Excel Entertainment being fruitful, Ranveer is in the running to replace Shah Rukh Khan. Shah Rukh Khan Opens Up About His Next Role, Claims He Can Play a Sexy Father Just as Fans Desire - Watch Video.
