Ranveer Singh was unveiled today as the next Don in Farhan Akhtar’s successful franchise. He succeeded Shah Rukh Khan, who had appeared in the previous two films. This replacement has split the internet. This isn’t the first time an actor has been replaced in a franchise. The list includes Akshay Kumar in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Nushratt Bharuccha in Dream Girl 2, and Abhishek Bachchan in Bunty Aur Babli 2. Here’s a glance at them.
Ranveer Singh was revealed as the next Don in the franchise in one of the day’s greatest announcements. He takes up the role from Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. Ranveer Singh is now basking with the success of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. It was a double treat for his admirers when the actor’s Don 3 look was revealed.
With the arrival of Kartik Aaryan, Akshay Kumar’s involvement with the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise came to an end. He took on the role, albeit with a twist. Fans of Akshay Kumar were outraged by this decision. However, Kartik has stated in several interviews that the objective wasn’t ever to replace the celebrity or fill his shoes.
The public adored Nushratt Bharuccha and Ayushmann Khurrana’s Dream Girl combination. While the majority of the original cast has returned for the sequel, the actress has been replaced. Ananya Panday has taken over as Ayushmann’s ladylove, Pari. While the film’s central subject is an extension of the prequel, the plot has been altered.
‘Nomoshkar…ek minute’ was perhaps one of the scariest phrases in Indian movie history. In Kahaani, Saswata Chatterjee stated that. He portrayed Bob Biswas, a brief but memorable part. His character received a spin-off in 2021, but he wasn’t in it. Abhishek Bachchan was cast in the title role of Bob Biswas. Many people were upset by the choice to replace the actor who rendered the role popular.
Singham marked Kajal Aggarwal’s Bollywood debut. Despite a good debut, she was not cast in the sequel. Kavya, played by Kajal, was Ajay Devgn’s girlfriend. Kareena Kapoor Khan has been cast as Ajay Devgn’s new love interest in Singham Returns. She portrayed the character of Avni.
Race is unfinished with Saif Ali Khan, as Salman Khan replaced him in the third film. Race 3 fell short of expectations. In Races 1 and 2, Saif took the lead. Salman was given the franchise after a makeover. Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Daisy Shah, and others also appeared in the film.
The strange case of Laxman was uncovered when Sharman Joshi got replaced by Kunal Kemmu in Golmaal 3 and Golmaal Again. Sharman might never come back to the franchise. Kunal is presently playing the character of Laxman in the film, which was formerly performed by Sharman. The reason for his departure remains unknown.
In Bunty Aur Babli, Abhishek Bachchan played Rakesh Trivedi to perfection. The film received an official sequel in 2021. However, Abhishek was not present. With Rani, Saif Ali Khan played Rakesh Trivedi. The film, which also featured Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari, was immediately aired on Prime Video. It didn’t even inch closer to the prequel.
In 2013, Arshad Warsi portrayed Jagdish ‘Jolly’ Tyagi in Jolly LLB. When the film was remade in 2017, he was superseded by Akshay Kumar. It’s probable that Akshay and Arshad may share screen time in the third installment of the courtroom drama.
In 2006, Isha Koppikar Narang played Shah Rukh Khan’s loving woman in Don. Unexpectedly, she was replaced in the sequel by Lara Dutta. Isha disappointedly mentioned during a conversation that, “I don’t know even I was expecting (to be a part of the sequel) but I don’t know what happened. They changed the entire…you know…it didn’t do very well in any case”
