Karanvir Bohra says he messaged Deepika Padukone for a role in Don 3.
Karanvir Bohra said that Deepika Padukone gave him the number of Don 3’s casting agent.
Farhan Akhtar recently announced that Ranveer Singh will be replacing Shah Rukh Khan as the next Don in the third part of the franchise. Since then, there has been quite a buzz surrounding the film as fans are eager to see how Farhan will take the franchise forward. Recently, television actor Karanvir Bohra revealed that he had approached Deepika Padukone to be cast as the film’s antagonist.
Talking to Hindustan Times, Karanvir revealed, “When I got to know that Ranveer Singh is doing Don 3, I was really keen to play the villain opposite him. But I don’t know Farhan Akhtar or anybody in his production house. So, out of the blue, I messaged Deepika Padukone (Ranveer Singh’s wife). I thought luck try kar lete hain because you never know. Deepika and I know each other, but we don’t meet as such. So I dropped her a message and conveyed my interest in being part of the film.”
He continued, “She replied saying, ‘I can’t help you this way but I can help you with the name of the person who does casting for the banner making the film’. Coincidently, I had the person’s contact number. Maine usse message kara ki mere layak aisa koi role ho, let me know (I messaged her that if there is a role I can do, let me know). I would love to do it. So, you need to have that urge in you as an actor.”
Karanvir became popular among audiences after he starred in the hit show Shararat – Thoda Jaadu, Thodi Nazaakat. He has portrayed many negative roles on television, including his recent role in the show Hum Rahein Na Rahein Hum. He has also been a part of several other popular television shows including Just Mohabbat, Kkusum, Saubhagyavati Bhava and Qubool Hai among others. He was also seen in Kangana Ranaut’s OTT reality show Lock Upp.
