Don Franchise is one of the famous franchises/universes of Bollywood. Two years ago, the third film in the franchise, Don 3, was announced with Ranveer Singh playing the lead role. Kiara Advani was announced as the lead actress, but now the news is that Kriti Sanon replaces Kiara Advani in Don 3.
In 2023, it was confirmed that Ranveer Singh would take on the iconic role of Don, carrying the legacy forward from Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, and Farhan Akhtar confirmed his return to direction after over ten years. Kiara Advani, originally cast as the female lead, had to withdraw due to her pregnancy.
Don 3: Kriti Sanon Replaces Kiara Advani
The fans of the actress might feel bad, but the news is almost confirmed that Kriti Sanon replaces Kiara Advani in Don 3. With Kriti joining, the casting looks almost finished. Farhan finished much of the location scouting and is set to work with an international stunt team on the film’s action scenes.
The shoot of Don 3 will mainly be done in Europe, and the locations are secured. The script is finalized, needing only minor tweaks and action design. Pre-production will continue for several months, with filming set for October/November 2025.
Don 3 will mark the first collaboration of Ranveer Singh and Kriti Sanon, and the actress will complete her current projects, Tere Ishk Mein and Cocktail 2, before starting Don 3. She will also star in a horror thriller named Nai Naveli with Aanand L. Rai, aiming for a 2026 release.
