Actor-director-producer Farhan Akhtar has been vocal about various issues on social media. However, nowadays he has taken a break from it and he has revealed the reason behind it on QuPlay`s Pinch Season 2. In the episode, Farhan said, "I`m inactive these days (on social media), as I needed a detox from social media. There was a time when I had got into a tussle with trollers. But then the thing is, either you get stuck in a never-ending process by responding, or you realise that you have a life beyond social media, and you take an exit. 

Farhan believes that fans could be loyal towards an artist, but trollers can`t be loyal. They keep looking for newer targets. He even shared his view about being unaffected by trolling, "These trolls are clickbait, they throw a hook, you can either behave like a shark, or you can behave like a fish. One should be confident enough, not to get affected by such trolls and keep moving." One of the most awaited projects of Farhan`s directorial is Don 3. The actor shared that he shares a jumbled relationship with the people for the film and said, "Even when I put out condolence, people ask me about Don 3. They don`t even realise that someone has passed away, at least they should spare such a tweet."

The original Don starring Amitabh Bachchan is Farhan`s favourite, and he revealed what made him remake the film. "I`m a big fan of (Amitabh) Bachchan Saab, and when I saw the original film, I got sacred with the character of Don. I was having this thought... like, he is my hero, and he`s so scary, vicious, mean and violent person. So that has stayed with me for a long time." Farhan continued, "The characters, the screenplay has modernity, so I discussed with Zoya and asserted that Don is such an amazing film, that it will translate well even in today`s time (the 2000s), so someone should remake it. Then Zoya told me, `let me remind you, that even you`re a director. So why don`t you make it?` While making Don, Akhtar desired to give a fresh take to it, "I wanted to bring a new element to it, so as the dialogue goes, `Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi, namumkin hain,` I decided to bring such a twist that adds weightage to this line.
