Hrithik Roshan recently caught fans’ attention with a thought-provoking social media post that quickly sparked speculation across the internet. The actor, who was last seen in War 2, shared a series of casual photographs accompanied by a poetic caption inspired by the works of Wendell Berry.
His words, reflecting themes of renewal and freedom, included the line “Finally I am free,” which led many fans to wonder if the post hinted at a personal or professional shift. The caption spoke of change, self-realisation, and embracing authenticity, resonating strongly with followers who flooded the comments section with messages of support and curiosity.
Amid the online chatter, Hrithik addressed one of the biggest rumours circulating in recent weeks — his alleged involvement in Don 3. Speaking to Variety India, the actor firmly denied any connection to the project, clarifying that he had never been approached for the film at any stage.
He emphasised that what began as speculation had grown into widespread misinformation, urging media outlets to avoid publishing unverified reports. With this statement, Hrithik effectively put an end to the growing buzz suggesting he might step into the iconic role previously associated with Shah Rukh Khan.
The casting uncertainty surrounding Don 3 has intensified following Ranveer Singh’s reported exit from the project. The situation has since evolved into a larger dispute between the actor and Excel Entertainment.
Reports suggest that the production house has claimed financial setbacks due to the sudden departure, while Ranveer has allegedly cited concerns regarding delays and professional commitments. There are also claims that creative differences, including dissatisfaction with the script, may have played a role in his decision.
The issue has reportedly reached the Producers Guild of India, with discussions surrounding potential compensation for the losses incurred. Meanwhile, Ranveer is said to have maintained that he had not accepted any signing amount for the film.
As speculation continues, fans are still waiting for clarity on who will take the baton forward in the Don franchise. With Hrithik officially distancing himself from the project, the question of the next lead remains unanswered — keeping audiences intrigued about the future of the iconic series.
