Excel Movies has finally dropped the teaser of Don 3, and we have a new name on the screen. Filling the big shoes of Amitabh Bachchan, and Shah Rukh Khan, Singh will be seen playing the titular character in the next instalment of the popular film franchise. Besides everything we enjoyed about the popular franchise so far, the Dons and their ladies so far have made some cult-favourite fashion trends. And as we await for the new instalment to drop, let’s look at the many times these characters impressed us. 

Amitabh Bachchan’s Don Look

In the 1978 film, the legendary actor played the titular role for the first time and made it a cult-favourite character. From the film’s songs, and casting to Amitabh ji’s fashion, everything was supremely perfect. Remember his “Khaike Paan Banaras” look? The red gamchha, waistcoat and boot-cut pants became a signature. Besides his wardrobe in the hit tracks, the actor popularised the idea of pinstripe suits, neckties, checkered sets, and bright shirts throughout his time in the film. 

Zeenat Aman As Roma

Playing the leading role opposite Amitabh Bachchan, actress Zeenat Aman portrayed the character of Roma. Her wardrobe for the film was filled with the essence of power dressing, printed dresses polka dotted, tied-up shirts, jewellery and slit gowns. The actress played a one-of-a-kind role in the film and brought edgy fashion to the big screen. 

Shah Rukh Khan And His Many Avatars

After Amitabh Bachchan, actor Shah Rukh Khan earned the privilege to play Don in the later instalments of the popular film. From dreadlocks, long hair, printed shirts, and sunglasses to leather jackets and black outfits, the actor nailed his part in every way possible. His variety of looks in the film was always a surprise package for his fans. 

Priyanka Chopra As The New Roma

Making space in two consecutive instalments of the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Don, actress Priyanka Chopra stepped into the shoes of Zeenat Aman’s popular character Roma in the film. Her look was equally sporty, edgy and sharp. From blazing guns to pantsuits and fitted leather pants, Chopra reprised the part perfectly.

Kareena Kapoor’s Iconic Song

For a special segment in the Shah Rukh Khan film, Kareena turned up the heat in the newest version of the film’s popular song–“Yeh Mera Dil.” Essaying the role of Kamini Arora, the actress picked a glimmering golden gown, which resonated with her character’s look in the film. Sultry, sexy and extremely feminine, Kapoor turned heads with her fiery number. 

As per the latest announcement, actor Ranveer Singh will take the franchise forward as the new Don.
