Badsha – The Don is a 2016 Indo-Bangladesh joint production action comedy film directed by Baba Yadav. It was produced by Eskay Movies and Jaaz Multimedia. It is a remake of the 2010 Telugu movie Don Seenu starring Ravi Teja. The film stars Jeet and Nusrat Faria. It is the third collaboration between Baba Yadav and Jeet after Boss: Born to Rule (2013) and Game (2014).
Except for the climax, the scenes of Mahesh Manjrekar were taken from the archival footage of the original version, which just led to a continuity error throughout the film. Released in July 2016, the film flopped at the box office in West Bengal but recovered its budget from its Bangladesh release.
