Yes, according to the latest report in Pinkvilla, Farhan Akhtar is gearing up for the film and has started to design SRK's role.

A source close to the development, told Pinkvilla, "Don is a subject close to everyone at Excel. The team has been trying to crack and develop an idea for Don 3 for a while now, but the same has been put on the back burner time and again due to a lack of novelty factor. But the team has finally scummed upon an idea that's exciting and will take the franchise to the next level. Farhan has started writing the script and will give narration to his Don aka. SRK, once the screenplay is locked."

According to the source, Farhan has discussed the idea of Don 3 with his father Javed Akhtar (the original creator of Don (1978). "Like always, Don 3 is still in the early stages and the future of the project will definitely depend on what shape the screenplay finally takes, but yes, it's confirmed that Farhan has started work on Don 3 script. Unlike the last few attempts to make a part 3, the idea this time around is too exciting to let go of, and everyone around is giving more than 100 percent to this project," the source added.

Don was an official remake of the Amitabh Bachchan's classic, which was eventually made into an independent franchise with Don 2. It has been ten years since Don 2, and fans are super excited for the third part of the novel franchise.
