Ritesh Sidhwani, who co-owns Excel Entertainment with Farhan Akhtar, shared that a third installment of Shah Rukh Khan's gangster drama “Don” is indeed in the making.

“We are thinking about Don 3 and we are thinking very hard on it. We have found the right idea, it's being written now. We will make an official announcement soon,” news agency PTI quoted Sidhwani as saying. When asked if Farhan will return to helm the much-awaited sequel, Sidhwani did not completely deny the possibility. “Wait for the announcement,” he said.

Earlier this year, Farhan Akhtar said several projects are keeping him busy at the moment but there will be an update on the “Don” sequel soon. When asked about it, he said in a Facebook chat session: “Soon I hope. Different things are happening right now, work related. You will hear about it soon.”

It was in March last year when Farhan had revealed that he is in the process of shaping up a script for “Don 3”, which created a lot of interest among movie buffs.

Farhan's series of “Don” films feature Shah Rukh Khan in the titular role while Priyanka Chopra featured as a feisty cop in both the films. The first part released in 2006 while “Don 2” arrived at theatres in 2011. The series is the modern remakes of Amitabh Bachchan's 1978 cult film, directed by Chandra Barot.
