The highly anticipated "Don 3," directed by Farhan Akhtar and starring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, is reportedly gearing up to commence filming in September. The action-thriller has been generating considerable buzz, especially after Ranveer Singh was announced as the new Don, taking over the mantle from Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan.
Recent reports suggest that Vikrant Massey is expected to play a significant role in the film, possibly as the main antagonist. While details about his character are still under wraps, his addition to the cast has further heightened anticipation for the movie.
The female lead in "Don 3" has been a subject of much speculation. Kiara Advani was initially cast opposite Ranveer Singh but had to opt out due to her pregnancy. Subsequently, names like Sharvari Wagh were considered. However, recent reports indicate that Kriti Sanon is poised to join Ranveer Singh as the female lead in "Don 3". Sources suggest that Kriti Sanon is likely to officially sign the film within the next couple of weeks. The creative team was looking for an experienced actress with a strong screen presence, and Kriti Sanon seemingly fits the bill perfectly.
Farhan Akhtar has already completed a significant portion of location scouting, with plans to shoot extensively in Europe. Locations have been finalized, and the team is preparing to collaborate with an international stunt team to design the film's action sequences. The script is also reportedly locked, with only minor polishing and action design remaining.
Earlier there were rumors about the film being delayed, but Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment issued a statement in November 2023 clarifying that the timelines for "Don 3" remain unchanged. The makers are committed to delivering a cinematic spectacle that honors the franchise's legacy while setting new benchmarks.
Ranveer Singh is expected to begin preparing for his role as Don in March 2025. He is currently finishing up his other projects. The production team is aiming to commence principal photography by October or November 2025.
"Don 3" is produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under the Excel Entertainment banner. The film is expected to be a thrilling action-packed ride, living up to the standards set by its predecessors.
