Don is back! After 12 years, Farhan Akhtar is finally heading forward to push the Don franchise to the next level. In the third instalment, Don 3, we will see Ranveer Singh instead of Shah Rukh Khan. Well, who doesn’t love SRK? We all do, but he has moved on, and so should we. Living up to expectations while carrying the legacy of OG Amitabh Bachchan [Don (1978)] and SRK (Don & Don 2) is a big task and we saw that after ‘No SRK, No Don’ started trending on Twitter. But cut him some slack, please?
Someone on Twitter finally pointed out how Ranveer Singh has been subjected to hatred even before the makers released the teaser of Don 3.
The Twitter user, @ShahAnjie, posted a thread on the micro-blogging platform about how a section of cinephiles are calling Ranveer Singh ‘misfit’ for Don 3.
The first tweet also talks about how Singh has been compared with SRK. “…they constantly live in nostalgia while being extremely negative, nasty & unacceptable towards new age actors. This was the SAME reactions to Shahrukh’s Don as well, he was constantly compared to Bachchan Ji (sic).”
In the conclusion, the thread talks about how the plot of Don 3 can be ‘anything’.
Here’s how netizens are reacting to it:

Stop the comparison, please!
