Ranveer Singh Breaks Silence On People Thinking He Is ‘Not Fit’ For Don 3
Actor Ranveer Singh has opened up about his dream to essay the role of a don.
Ranveer revealed this while answering a number of insightful questions in the fast-paced rapid-fire round on Karan Johar’s popular talk show ‘Koffee With Karan’ which returns for its 8th season.
The first episode of the fresh season features celebrity couple Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone as guests.
During the episode, the filmmaker asks Ranveer about what he would say to those who considered the actor as not the right choice for ‘Don 3’, directed by Farhan Akthar.
Ranveer said, “Ek chance dedo, 12-13 saal me thik thak hi kaam kiya hai maine, toh ek mauka toh banta hai” (Give me a chance, I have done decent work in the last 12-13 years, so I deserve a chance).
Earlier, after the film ‘Don 3’ was announced, Ranveer shared a series of pictures of his childhood days.
In the accompanying note he wrote, “Gosh! I’ve been dreaming about doing this for a very, very long time! As a child I fell in love with the movies, and like the rest of us, watching and worshipping Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan – the two G.O.A.Ts of Hindi Cinema. I dreamed of growing up to be like them. They are the very reason I wanted to become an actor and a ‘hindi film hero’. Their impact and influence on my life cannot be overstated. They’ve shaped the person and actor that I am. Taking their legacy forward is a manifestation of my childhood dream..I understand what a great responsibility it is to be a part of the ‘Don’ dynasty. I hope the audience gives me a chance and showers me with love, the way they have for numerous characters over the past so many years. Thank you Farhan and Ritesh for entrusting me with this honourable mantle and believing in me. I hope I can deliver on your faith and conviction. My two supernovas, The Big B and SRK, I hope I can make you proud. And my beloved audience, as always, I promise you…that I will do my very best to entertain you…in and as…’Don’. Thank you for your love”
Farhan Akhtar also wrote in his long post asking the audience to give the same love to the new Don as before. He mentioned, “In 1978, a character created by Salim-Javed and portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan with effortless elan, captured the imagination of theatregoers across the country. That enigmatic character was Don. In 2006, Don was reimagined and brought to life by Shah Rukh Khan in his own irresistibly charming way.” “The time has now come to take the legacy of Don forward and joining us in this new interpretation will be an actor whose talent and versatility I have long admired. We hope that you will show him the love you have so graciously and generously shown to Mr Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan,” the post further reads.
The announcement of the eagerly anticipated third instalment of Farhan Akhtar’s well-known franchise, ‘Don’, caused a stir on the internet. In the teaser, Ranveer can be seen seated in a building with his back to the camera.
He lights up a cigarette, introduces himself as Don, and then turns to face the camera.
He wears a leather jacket and matching pants for the dapper look and accessorizes it with leather boots and matching sunglasses.
The ‘Don’ series has always been associated with compelling stories, exhilarating action, and unforgettable moments.
‘Don’ starred Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Boman Irani in prominent roles. The film was released in 2006 and won Best Asian Film at the Neuchatel International Fantastic Film Festival. Later, its sequel was released in 2011 and was declared a hit.
Actor Hrithik Roshan was seen in a special appearance role in ‘Don 2’. Farhan’s directorial was a remake of 1978’s ‘Don’, featuring Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role. A new era of Don will begin in 2025.

Complaint against Netflix & Mukesh Chhabra for inappropriate language on ‘India’s Got Latent 2’

Mumbai, Sep 23: Samay Raina’s show ‘India’s Got Latent’ has once again landed in trouble after a complaint was filed against the casting director Mukesh Chhabra and Netflix India for inappropriate language being used on the show.
Complainant Anurag Shrivastav has alleged that he arrived in Mumbai on the evening of September 22, 2026, and while watching Netflix on his laptop in the hotel room, he saw the ‘India’s Got Latent’ episode that had actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, actor and YouTuber Bhuvan Bam, casting director Mukesh Chhabra, and stand-up comedian Kaustubh Agarwal, alongside host Samay Raina as part of the panel.
As he was watching the episode, the complainant came across some objectionable statements and realized their serious social impact.
During the episode, Mukesh Chhabra allegedly said, “Mere Aaram Nagar mein aao, gaand marao.”
“In the said episode, Mr. Mukesh Chhabra appears as a panel member. While watching the program, he was allegedly heard using highly inappropriate, objectionable, and sexually suggestive language, stating:
“Mere Aaram Nagar mein aao, gaand marao,” read the complaint.
“The authenticity of this statement, the identification of the voice/person, the complete context, and the exact timestamp need to be verified from the original and unedited recording”, it went on.
The complainant further stated that if the authenticity of this statement is proven, it poses a huge question on the dignity of the viewers and cyber security of children.
The complainant further demanded the investigation of Netflix’s role in this. It was further asked on what basis such content was allowed on the streaming platform. An investigation into the role of Monika Shergill, Netflix India’s content chief, was also demanded.
‘India’s Got Latent’ is no stranger to controversies. In February 2025, content creator and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia faced massive backlash after his remarks about parents and sex during one of the episodes of season one.

Vivek Oberoi reacts to Salman Khan’s stand against social media trolls

Mumbai, Sep 23: Actor Vivek Oberoi, who has often found himself at the centre of discussions surrounding his equation with Salman Khan, has reacted to the superstar’s strong stand against social media trolls.
In an exclusive conversation with media, Vivek chose to focus on positivity when asked about the constant trolling and conversations around Salman.
“There are so many things in life to do positive, why should we do negative, why should we talk?” Vivek said.
Salman, during the recent Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss, questioned the mentality behind trolling and said that people should look after their own lives and families instead of constantly targeting others.
He had also come out in defence of women being body-shamed after pregnancy, in an apparent reference to the trolling faced by his close friend and former co-star Katrina Kaif over her post-pregnancy weight gain.
Without naming Katrina, Salman had questioned why anyone should troll a woman simply for gaining weight after giving birth.
He said that gaining weight during and after pregnancy is normal and that when she returns to films, she will get fit again, adding that she may simply want to spend time with her family at present.
He also criticised the culture of body- and age-shaming celebrities online, calling such trolling unnecessary and “dirty”.
Vivek, meanwhile has previously spoken about the difficult phase in his life when his equation with Salman became a subject of intense public discussion.
The two actors had a very public fallout in 2003, when Vivek, who was then associated with Aishwarya Rai, held a press conference alleging that Salman had threatened him over the phone.
Vivek claimed that Salman had repeatedly called him and objected to his relationship with Aishwarya, who was reportedly once dating Salman.
Over the years, Vivek has maintained that he would rather move forward and focus on the positive aspects of his life.
