Badsha – The Don is a 2016 Indian-Bangladeshi action comedy film directed by Baba Yadav. It was produced by Eskay Movies and Jaaz Multimedia.^[5] It is a remake of the 2010 Telugu movie Don Seenu starring Ravi Teja.^[6] The film stars Indian Bengali film actor Jeet and Bangladeshi television host and film actress 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.^[7]
