Vikrant Massey Walks Out of Ranveer’s Don 3

Bollywood’s rising star Vikrant Massey has reportedly stepped away from the much-anticipated film Don 3, starring Ranveer Singh. According to insider sources, Massey, who was in talks for a key role—possibly a negative one—chose to back out due to dissatisfaction with the script and his character’s development.

Sources close to the project reveal that Massey, known for his intense and nuanced performances, didn’t find the role compelling enough. The actor, who has carved a niche with meaningful roles in films like 12th Fail and Chhappak, wasn’t convinced the character did justice to his standards or audience expectations.

Following his exit, the makers have now shifted their focus to casting a fresh face for the antagonist. Buzz in the industry suggests that Vijay Deverakonda and Aditya Roy Kapur are currently in discussions with the production team. Both actors are reportedly interested, and early talks indicate that one of them may soon be finalized to bring a powerful, intense dynamic opposite Ranveer Singh.

Don 3, directed by Farhan Akhtar, has already generated massive excitement among fans, especially with Ranveer stepping into the iconic shoes once worn by Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. The film promises to be a stylish action thriller with a modern twist, and casting the right antagonist is critical to its narrative strength.

While fans were initially excited about Massey’s possible involvement, they now eagerly await the final announcement of the villain. Industry watchers say the final choice could define the film’s tone and legacy in the Don franchise.

Neither Vikrant Massey nor the film’s team has issued an official statement yet, but the news has already sparked widespread discussion on social media.
