His fear is that he is overexposing himself and the audience might soon be tired of him. He’s often expressed this worry in his conversations about doing too many films and tiring his audience out. So it’s a brave decision to take a break and give yourself some time. Why not?"

The portal added another source from the industry that his decision could also be a strategy to reinvent himself. The insider added that he’s most likely to play the negative lead in the next Don being made by Excel Entertainment. "I won’t be surprised if this break could be a way of reinventing himself and then doing a relaunch with a totally new look and style. Vikrant has always been a thinking actor. He’s not someone who does things on the surface, so this break could have something to do with Don 3," the source stated.
