Shah Rukh Khan and Farhan Akhtar's combination in the film "Don" and its sequel "Don 2" worked wonders at the box office. Now with talks on for a third installment in the franchise, the game is literally on. However, away from the franchise, we hear that SRK is all set to play a Gujarati don in Excel's next venture.

The yet untitled film which is currently in the scripting stage will be produced by Farhan and his partner Ritesh Sidhwani under their banner Excel Entertainment Pvt Ltd, while Rahul Dholakia will helm the directorial reins of the film. The film is expected to go on floor next year.
