Here’s why I will miss having Priyanka Chopra in Shah Rukh Khan’s Don 3

Thursday, 29 March 2018 07:00

Priyanka’s admirers are disappointed and for all the valid reasons.

As per reports in DNA, Farhan Akhtar has taken a break from acting and channelled all his energy into developing the script for the new film of the Don franchise.

He has even locked the script and things are moving in the right direction. But the point to note here is that PeeCee isn’t being replaced by any other actress in the movie. The story line is such that it doesn’t need Priyanka’s character any more. It’s likely to feature a new cast, which will be locked soon.

Alas, Priyanka as ‘junglee billi’, aka Roma, will certainly not be a part of the film. It will be impossible for anyone to recreate her character and bring back the same essence that Priyanka did. She was such an integral part of the film! After starring in the original and later even its sequel, Priyanka’s character was as important to the movie as SRK, or so we thought.
