While the rumours about Katrina Kaif appearing in the third instalment of 'Don', directed by Farhan Akhtar did the rounds, sources reveal there is absolutely no truth to it. It has been reported that the actress was never approached for 'Don 3'. Putting at rest all the speculations, producer Ritesh Sidhwani tweeted, “Much speculation on #Don3 & it's Casting. No thoughts of changing it's casting... working towards developing the script. Will keep u posted.”

Director Farhan Akhtar also took to Twitter saying, “Please do not react to rumours regarding the sequel. As and when the time comes, you'll hear the truth from me.” A source said, “Katrina has not been approached for Don 3 hence signing the film is out of question. As per producer Ritesh Sidwanis' tweet, the makers have no plans of changing the casting and may stick to the original starcast.”

So it is safe to say that Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra are set to reprise the lead roles in 'Don 3'. The first remake of 'Don' and its sequel was widely appreciated and did well at the box office. The first remake of Don was in 2006 when Shah Rukh stepped into the shoes of Amitabh Bachchan. It was followed by a sequel in 2011. Both the films were appreciated and did well at the box-office. Few days back, there was buzz that since Priyanka Chopra has her hands full with many projects, the makers had decided to go ahead with the project with a new character i.e. of Katrina.
