Rajesh Khattar: Ranveer Singh would do a great job despite comparisons with Shah Rukh Khan as the new Don'

Rajesh Khattar

, who has recently lent his voice for his role as Rakhtdev in Baahubali: Crown of Blood, recently shared discussed his interest in being a part of the highly anticipated

Don 3

movie, despite his character's demise in

Don 2

.
In his interview with India Today, Rajesh expressed his eagerness, stating, “My character in Don 2 died, but Don 3 is going to be based in a different era altogether with a totally different storyline.

So, it’s quite possible that there can be a chance I can be there too. It’s Bollywood after all, and anything can happen in films. Which is why, I even called

Farhan

(Akhtar, writer and director) and told him that I wanted to be a part of the project. So, let’s see now.”
Rajesh also addressed the casting of

Ranveer Singh

as the new Don and the inevitable comparisons with Shah Rukh Khan. He remarked, “Comparisons are inevitable. When SRK was cast in Don 2, people compared him to

Amitabh Bachchan

. Now, when Ranveer has been cast, he’s being compared to Shah Rukh. But, all this doesn’t matter because every plot is different from the other. Mr. Bachchan won all our hearts, and so did SRK. Which is why, I’m confident that even Ranveer would do a great job. He’s an amazing actor, and there’s no doubt that he and Farhan teaming up will create magic.”

Khattar's versatile career spans roles in Don 2, Race 2, and the television series Beyhadh, where he portrayed Jennifer Winget’s father. Additionally, he has contributed significantly as a voice artist, dubbing for characters played by international actors such as Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp, and Tony Stark, among others.
