Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon is officially set to star opposite Ranveer Singh in the much-anticipated action thriller Don 3. The Farhan Akhtar directorial, backed by Excel Entertainment, has been one of the most talked-about projects of the year. With the latest casting change, the excitement around Don 3 has reached a whole new level.
Previously, the female lead role in Don 3 was offered to Kiara Advani. However, due to her pregnancy, the Shershaah star has stepped down from the film. Kiara, who is expecting her first child with husband Sidharth Malhotra, has chosen to focus on her personal life and well-being, making the difficult decision to opt out of the movi .
With Kiara’s exit, the producers of Don 3 began searching for a talented actress with commanding screen presence. National Award-winning actress Kriti Sanon quickly emerged as the frontrunner. Known for her performance in Mimi, Kriti brings both star power and acting depth, making her an ideal choice for the pivotal role of Roma.
According to sources close to the development, “Kriti Sanon perfectly fits the vision Farhan Akhtar has for Roma in Don 3. She has the charisma, confidence, and experience required for the role.” The source added that Kriti has already given her verbal approval and is expected to sign the official paperwork soon. Her addition adds more excitement to the already star-studded cast.
Don 3 marks the final chapter in the beloved action franchise originally launched with Amitabh Bachchan in 1978. It was successfully rebooted in 2006 with Shah Rukh Khan in the lead. In 2023, Excel Entertainment officially announced Don: The Chase Ends, confirming Ranveer Singh as the new face of the franchise. With Kriti Sanon now confirmed as the female lead, expectations for this movie are higher than ever.
