Ranveer Singh’s reported exit from Don 3 continues to dominate entertainment headlines and now a viral comment from comedian Tanmay Bhat has added a fresh twist to the ongoing discussion.
The controversy surrounding the highly anticipated film intensified after the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) weighed in on the matter. Amid the speculation, a recent YouTube video featuring Varun Dhawan and several popular comedians has caught the attention of social media users, with many interpreting one particular remark as a veiled reference to the Don 3 situation.
Varun Dhawan, who has been receiving positive responses for his latest film, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, appeared on Tanmay Bhat’s YouTube channel alongside comedians Rohan Joshi, Piyush Sharma and Zakir Khan. During a light-hearted segment, Tanmay praised Varun for being known within the industry as a professional, dependable and committed actor despite his star status.
He then jokingly suggested that these qualities happened to match what Farhan Akhtar might currently be looking for, prompting laughter from everyone present. The playful remark quickly turned into a running joke, with the comedians making humorous references to the Don franchise while Varun joined in and laughed along.

Although the moment was clearly delivered in a comedic setting, the clip rapidly spread across social media platforms. Many viewers interpreted Tanmay Bhat’s comment as an indirect jab at Ranveer Singh and the reports surrounding his alleged departure from Don 3. Others argued that the comedian was simply referencing a topic that has been widely discussed online and did not intend to question anyone’s professionalism.
The differing reactions have only fueled further debate among fans, with some seeing the remark as a clever piece of satire and others viewing it as a pointed observation on the ongoing controversy.
Meanwhile, neither Ranveer Singh nor Farhan Akhtar has directly addressed the viral joke. However, the Don 3 discussion continues to generate significant attention, ensuring that every related comment is being closely scrutinised by fans and industry watchers alike.
On the work front, Varun Dhawan’s Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai also stars Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde in prominent roles. The film is notable for marking David Dhawan’s final directorial venture, adding another layer of significance to its release.
