Farhan Akhtar on Raj Shamani’s podcast about ‘Don 3’ Shahrukh Khan Farhan revealed the reason for casting Ranveer Singh instead of Ranveer Singh.

Farhan further said, “He is a very charming boy. He is attractive, he is mischievous. He is full of energy, which is what they need. I think when it comes to this aspect of his performance, it is still untapped. I don’t think he has played such a role.
