Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Don 3’ has made the headlines ever since its announcement. The casting for this film has grabbed the attention of the fanbase. While Ranveer Singh replacing Shah Rukh Khan sparked intense debate among fans, there was suspense over the female lead.
Ending all suspense, Akhtar took to social media today to make the much-anticipated announcement. Kiara Advani will be playing the main role alongside Ranveer Singh in the movie, Akhtar said in an Instagram post. After a long wait, Farhan Akhtar revealed the news and posted a video on X, formerly Twitter, welcoming the actress on board. “Welcome to the Don universe Kiara Advani”, wrote Farhan on his X account.
Kiara also shared a post on her Instagram account announcing her casting for the movie. The actress also wrote on X, formerly Twitter, “Thrilled to be part of the iconic Don franchise and to be working with this incredible team! Seeking all your love and support as we set out on this exciting journey together.”
While specifics regarding Kiara’s role in ‘Don 3’ remain shrouded in mystery, recent reports suggest that her character will possess “negative shades.” Speculation surrounding Kiara’s involvement in ‘Don 3’ initially arose in August last year, following her sighting at the office of Ritesh Sidhwani, co-founder of Excel Entertainment.
Helmed by Farhan Akhtar, ‘Don 3’ pledges to unleash another pulse-pounding chapter, primed to embark audiences on an extraordinary cinematic voyage. Backed by the powerhouse duo of Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, renowned for their stellar repertoire of crowd-pleasing projects, anticipation soars for what is poised to be a magnum opus within the iconic franchise.
Farhan previously confirmed that production on ‘Don 3’ wouldn’t commence until 2025. Addressing queries regarding the early film announcement, Akhtar expressed his desire for the audience to be acquainted with the identity of the new ‘Don.’
