The
third
installment
of
superstar
Shah
Rukh
Khan-fronted
action
thriller
"Don",
to
be
directed
by
Farhan
Akhtar,
is
currently
in
the
scripting
stage,
says
producer
Ritesh
Sidhwani.
Sidhwani,
actor-filmmaker
Akhtar's
partner
at
production
banner
Excel
Entertainment,
said
he
is
not
aware
of
the
plot
details
of
the
much-anticipated
movie.
"Till
my
partner
(Farhan
Akhtar)
finishes
writing
it,
we
won't
do
anything.
Right
now,
he
is
in
the
phase
of
completing
the
script...
Even
all
of
us
are
eagerly
waiting
to
see
'Don'," Sidhwani
told
PTI.
Akhtar
and
Sidhwani's
banner
Excel
Entertainment
bought
the
rights
of
the
Amitabh
Bachchan-starrer
1978
film
of
the
same
name
and
remade
it
with
Shah
Rukh
and
Priyanka
Chopra
Jonas
in
the
lead.
The
first
"Don" released
in
2006
and
the
second
installment
came
out
in
2011
with
SRK
and
Priyanka
reprising
their
characters.
Both
films
were
directed
by
Akhtar.
Sidhwani,
known
for
producing
movies
such
as
"Dil
Chahta
Hai",
"Rock
On!!",
"Zindagi
Na
Milegi
Dobara"
and
"Raees",
are
currently
promoting
the
banner's
web
series
"Dahaad"
Directed
by
Reema
Kagti
and
Ruchika
Oberoi,
the
show
is
set
in
a
small
sleepy
town
of
Rajasthan
and
revolves
around
the
investigation
of
the
gruesome
murder
cases
of
several
women
led
by
sub-inspector
Anjali
Bhaati
(Sinha).
The
eight-part
Prime
Video
crime
drama
had
its
world
premiere
at
the
Berlin
International
Film
Festival
under
the
Berlinale
Series
program
in
February
this
year.
The
response
was
"overwhelming",
said
Sidhwani,
adding
that
the
festival
allowed
them
to
present
India's
culture
and
issues
to
a
wide
range
of
audiences.
"It
brings
the
content
from
India
to
the
forefront
for
a
different
audience,
who
usually
would
not
discover
these
stories."
"Dahaad",
also
featuring
Vijay
Varma,
Gulshan
Devaiah,
and
Sohum
Shah,
is
currently
streaming
on
Prime
Video.
It
is
produced
by
Excel
Media
&
Entertainment
and
Zoya
Akhtar
and
Reema
Kagti's
Tiger
Baby.
