“Finally I am free”: Hrithik Roshan’s post sets Internet talking after Don 3 clarification

The chatter around Don 3 refuses to die down. Just when speculation was spiralling in every direction, Hrithik Roshan stepped in to clear the air. And interestingly, he did it while sharing a deeply reflective post from a calm, picture-perfect location far away from the noise. From mountains and still waters to poetic lines about freedom, Hrithik’s latest Instagram update has caught everyone’s attention.

A Post About Freedom, Not Films

Soon after being seen in War 2, Hrithik dropped a series of photos where he is dressed casually, surrounded by nature, misty mountains, quiet water, and a peaceful backdrop. But it wasn’t just the visuals that stood out.

He shared a long caption inspired by writer Wendell Berry, ending with the words, “Finally I am free.”

The note spoke about change, renewal, and finding grace in the world. Fans quickly filled the comments section with love and admiration, with many wondering if the message hinted at something bigger amid the Don 3 debate.

Hrithik Clears The Don 3 Speculation

Amid ongoing rumours that he was once considered for Don 3, Hrithik addressed the matter directly in an interview with Variety India.

He firmly stated that he was never approached for the film at any point. Calling the reports baseless, he urged media platforms to avoid spreading unverified claims. With that one statement, he shut down weeks of gossip linking him to the franchise that originally starred Shah Rukh Khan.

For fans hoping for a surprise casting twist, this clarification may be disappointing. But Hrithik made it clear, there was never any conversation about him stepping into the iconic role.

What Happened Between Ranveer And Excel?

While Hrithik distanced himself from the project, the real storm has been between Ranveer Singh and Excel Entertainment, led by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani.

Reports suggest that after Ranveer exited the film, Excel incurred financial losses of Rs 40 crore and sought compensation. Ranveer, however, reportedly declined to accept any signing amount and cited dissatisfaction with the script as a key reason for stepping away.

The matter has even reached the Producers Guild of India, making it one of the most talked-about industry conflicts in recent times.

As the Don 3 saga continues, Hrithik seems unfazed, choosing peace over speculation. And if his latest post is any indication, he’s focused on new beginnings, including stepping behind the camera for Krrish 4.
