Soon after Ranveer Singh, who was last seen in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, shared the good news on social media, netizens couldn’t stop themselves from reacting. While some of them welcomed the new face of Don, others still hoped to see Shah Rukh Khan. In the comments section, one of the users wrote, “The voice, the look, the style, the walk! Everything is just pure magic! DON! The Ranveer Singh era!” Another user wrote, “Ranveer Singh is the best replacement to SRK and can justify the character, but Don without SRK is like Mission Impossible without Tom Cruise.” In fact, one of the netizens even commented, “SRK should do a cameo in it at least,” which shows the kind of yearning fans have to see Shah Rukh Khan in Don.
