Ritesh Sidhwani opens up about Don 3 with SRK!

Film Don 2 accomplished six years on December 23 and producer Ritesh Sidhwani has revealed that the work on the third instalment is very much going on. The third instalment will feature Shah Rukh Khan, but, conjectures around the leading lady are still rife.

Talking about it, Ritesh revealed a media source, “It will happen sooner than you know as we have started working on the script and the story. I think we need to crack the story as the responsibility is more (to get it right for the third part). With the next film in 'Don' franchise we won't take that much time, we will make it fast.”

The official pronouncement for the movie will be made next year, tells Ritesh.

If rumors are anything to go by, Deepika Padukone might replace Priyanka in the film. Speaking about it, Sidhwani revealed, “... We have not decided what we are going to do with it. Right now the film is in idea stage, it needs to come out in the form of story and screenplay. So it is too early to say anything.”

"Last year, had you asked me about it (making 'Don 3') I would have said, we are not thinking about it. But right now we are seriously thinking about it and have started working towards it," the producer further added.

But, it is still not clear as to who will direct the third instalment.

Farhan and Ritesh unite for Deepa Malik’s tale!

Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani are bringing us the tale of India's only woman to win a medal at the Paralympic Games.

The Excel Entertainment men were instantly amazed by the life of the shot put champ Deepa Malik when they heard her story, and they’re certain that her moving tale will resonate with desi audiences. Farhan and Ritesh have already begun researching the life of the athlete who lost the ability to walk because of a tumour, and the film will go into production this year. I look forward to it.

Raees will release on date, No rescheduling due to Uri or Pak Artists Ban incident, reveals Ritesh Sindhwani!

Due to the Uri attacks and IMPPA provisionally banning the Pak artistes, Raees' producer Ritesh Sidhwani quashes the reports about the film being postponed.

Ritesh told, “We are sticking to the release date we announced earlier for 'Raees'. I don't think something like a ban has happened.”

“The association has itself written to the government that people who have already made their films, who have completed their shooting, we should respect that. Let those movies release and whatever the government decides in the future, they will take a call on that,” he further included.

Ritesh set aside his remarks on the Pak actors ban and declared, “I don't want to comment on that (Pakistani actors ban). It is very sensitive. Right now everything is very heated, I don't think it is the right moment to talk about it.”
