Farhan Akhtar Returns to Ladakh for “Special Film” Shoot: Fans Speculate Don 3 or ZNMD 2

Farhan Akhtar, the multi-talented filmmaker and actor, is back in Ladakh, the stunning mountainous region where he has previously shot some of his most memorable films. On Wednesday, Farhan took to Instagram to share a breathtaking picture from Ladakh and hinted at an exciting new project. “Back in Ladakh after Lakshya and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag to shoot for a very special film. Details to be revealed soon. Watch this space,” he wrote, sparking widespread speculation among fans.

Although Farhan did not disclose the title of the project, fans quickly began guessing in the comments, with many wondering if the much-anticipated Don 3 or a sequel to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara could be in the works. “Is ZNMD 2 on the cards?” one fan asked, while another pleaded, “Please make ZNMD 2.”

Farhan’s deep connection to Ladakh is well-known, as he has often spoken about the surreal experience of filming in the picturesque union territory. His previous films Lakshya (2004) and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) were also shot in Ladakh, both of which featured some of the most visually stunning scenes in his career.

The speculation about Don 3 is particularly strong, given Farhan’s recent announcement that he is returning to the director’s chair for the third installment of the hit franchise. In August 2023, Farhan revealed that Ranveer Singh would take on the iconic role of Don, with Kiara Advani joining him in a leading role. The news of Ranveer stepping into the shoes of a character previously portrayed by Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan has already created a buzz among fans.

The Don franchise, known for its gripping storylines and high-octane action, first debuted with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role in 2006, followed by a successful sequel in 2011. The original Don, released in 1978, starred Amitabh Bachchan and has remained a classic in Indian cinema.

Whether Farhan’s current project in Ladakh is Don 3, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara 2, or something entirely new, the anticipation is palpable. Fans eagerly await more details as Farhan continues to work on what promises to be another cinematic adventure set against the stunning backdrop of Ladakh.
