Ritesh Sidhwani spills the beans on Shah Rukh Khan's Don 3

The producer of the much-anticipated film in the Don franchise 'Don 3' Ritesh Sidhwani recently said that the work on the third instalment is very much in progress. The film will star Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role but its female lead is yet to be finalised.

Talking about this much talked about the project, Ritesh told PTI, "It will happen sooner than you know as we have started working on the script and the story. I think we need to crack the story as the responsibility is more (to get it right for the third part). With the next film in 'Don' franchise we won't take that much time, we will make it fast".

"The official announcement for the movie will be made next year", added Ritesh.

A lot has been published and speculated about the female lead of Don 3. Recent reports suggest that Deepika Padukone will replace Priyanka Chopra in the third instalment. Speaking about the same, "We have not decided what we are going to do with it. Right now the film is in the idea stage, it needs to come out in the form of story and screenplay. So it is too early to say anything".

About Farhan Akhtar directing the film, the producer stated, "Let him (Farhan) first write the story. He is definitely writing it and then we have to see if he is excited to direct it". So, till now it remains unclear who will direct the third instalment.
