Kunal, who is quite excited to work with Bollywood King Khan SRK, told Mumbai Mirror, “I am very excited about the role, as well as being part of a huge franchise like Don. And the fact that I get to share screen space with SRK makes it twice as exciting.”

Apparently, Arjun had quit the film due to some creative differences.

If rumors are to be believed, then Arjun had demanded a hefty amount from the producers for the role and when they refused, he decided to walk out.
