It is not fair to raise expectations of the films fanbase via false news.
Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's production company, Excel Entertainment, owns the rights of the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer 1978 film Don.
Last year, Sidhwani said the team had started working on the script and the story.
In terms of direction, it is unclear whether Akhtar, who directed the first two films, will be back at the helms again.
It was rumoured that Deepika Padukone would replace Priyanka Chopra - who played cop, Roma in the first two films of the franchise.
The star cast of the sequel is yet to be revealed.
