BREAKING: Shah Rukh Khan declines Don 3, on the lookout for more scripts though

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who will soon be seen in films like Jawan, Pathan and Dunki, was offered to reprise his hit role from the Don franchise in the yet-to-be-finalised Don 3, according to a source-based report by Bollywood Hungama. 

As the actor is about to wrap up shoots of his aforementioned films, he has started to read movie scripts to be scheduled for release in 2024, reported the entertianment portal. 

However, the actor is now being extra careful with his choice of films. 

"Shah Rukh Khan was offered Don 3. However, he turned it down," a source told Bollywood Hungama. 

The source continued to add that it's not like he did not like the script of the sequel but he was not 'fully convinced' with what was written. 

"... He knows Don is an iconic role and would like to step back into the character once he’s completely confident of the script. The box office scenario is not very healthy and he wants to be doubly sure before signing on the dotted line," the source added. 

The same source also added, as reported in the same news article, that Farhan Akhtar (director) has gone back to working on the script. "... We can hope that the next time he meets SRK, the superstar will happily sign Don 3. The fans would be on cloud nine. When the speculations around the film generated so much craze, imagine what would happen on the day the makers announce Don 3!” concluded the source.
