Riding high on the massive success of his latest film “Dhurandhar”, Ranveer Singh has reportedly made a strategic decision to step away from Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s much-awaited “Don 3”. The 40-year-old actor is said to be focusing on other projects.
“Dhurandhar”, directed by Aditya Dhar, is close to crossing the Rs 600 crore nett mark at the box office.
"With Dhurandhar's massive success, Ranveer is very clear about the kind of films he wants to do next. He is keen to collaborate with filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Atlee, and at the same time, he doesn't want to be seen in back-to-back gangster films, especially since Dhurandhar is already established in that space. That's one of the reasons he has asked Jai Mehta to pre-pone the shoot of Pralay. Ranveer is keen on fast-tracking the project and bringing it on floors sooner than planned," a source revealed.

“Pralay” is a zombie movie that centres on a man's efforts to save his family in extremely challenging circumstances.
"Now that he has prioritised other projects over Don 3, Singh is personally involved in aligning dates and schedules for Jai Mehta's film to ensure it moves quickly," the source added highlighting Ranveer's deep involvement in “Pralay”.
Meanwhile, preparations for “Don 3” are underway. Kriti Sanon has been roped in as the female lead.
