Kiara Advani Approached to Star Opposite Ranveer Singh in Don 3; Shooting Commences Mid-2024
  • PublishedAugust 8, 2023

After years of eager anticipation and numerous speculations, the thrilling announcement of Don 3 by director Farhan Akhtar has finally arrived. This time, the Don franchise is set to be reinvigorated with the charismatic Ranveer Singh, stepping into the iconic role previously portrayed by Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan in 1978 and 2006 respectively. The stylish action-packed thriller was unveiled today through a promotional teaser, introducing Ranveer as the next-gen Don. While the film’s theatrical release is slated for 2025, the production gears are already turning, with discussions for the female lead opposite Ranveer in full swing.

Exclusive information from Pinkvilla reveals that Kiara Advani has been approached for the coveted leading lady role in Don 3. Recent sightings of the actress at the offices of Excel Entertainment have heightened speculation, and sources confirm that the meeting pertained to Don 3. According to insiders, Farhan Akhtar shared the preliminary plotline of the film with Kiara, and she expressed enthusiasm for the project. Kiara has reportedly given her verbal agreement and is thrilled to be part of the rebooted Don universe alongside Ranveer Singh, a collaboration she had long dreamed of. However, it’s important to note that her character won’t be the same as Roma, played by Priyanka Chopra in the previous Shah Rukh Khan-led installments. Don 3 is set to introduce fresh characters and innovative narratives. Kiara’s character, though, will have intriguing negative shades, adding depth to the storyline.

Kiara’s inclusion in Don 3 signifies her transition to the upper echelons of the industry. Gradually moving away from mid-budget romantic tales, she’s embarked on a journey of signing high-profile projects, aligning with star-driven films known for their grand scale. Her already confirmed participation in Hrithik Roshan’s highly anticipated YRF action venture, War 2, speaks volumes about her ascension, and Don 3 adds another prestigious feather to her cap.

The cameras are anticipated to roll for Don 3 in the middle of 2024, targeting a 2025 theatrical release. Ranveer Singh will only embark on this project post completing Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Baiju Bawra, co-starring Alia Bhatt, which is expected to commence production around February of the upcoming year. Simultaneously, Kiara is set to wrap up her commitments with War 2. Meanwhile, Farhan Akhtar’s schedule involves completing RS Prassanna’s Campeones remake, where he portrays a basketball coach working with a team of mentally challenged players. The shooting for this yet-to-be-titled dramatic sports drama is set to begin in November, paving the way for Farhan’s focus on Don 3’s pre-production.

While our attempts to reach representatives of Kiara Advani and Excel Entertainment for confirmation are still pending, the fervor and excitement surrounding Don 3’s captivating ensemble and plot continue to gain momentum. As Kiara Advani and Ranveer Singh gear up to make their mark in this new installment, the anticipation for their on-screen chemistry and captivating performances is at an all-time high.
