The hunt for the leading lady in Ranveer Singh’s highly anticipated “Don 3” appears to have found its answer! Unconfirmed but strong reports suggest that Kriti Sanon has emerged as the top contender for the coveted role, potentially joining the high-octane franchise after Kiara Advani’s reported exit due to pregnancy. Sanon’s recent visit to Excel Entertainment‘s office has fuelled these speculations, with sources indicating she has already received a narration and given her nod to the film.
Kiara Advani’s Exit Opens Door for New Lead
Initial reports had cast Kiara Advani as the female lead opposite Ranveer Singh in “Don 3.” However, news of her pregnancy reportedly led to her departure from the project, leaving a significant void in the casting. This development prompted the makers to actively search for a new actress who could match the charisma and intensity required for the iconic role in the “Don” universe.
Kriti Sanon Spotted at Excel Entertainment Office
Paparazzi recently spotted Kriti Sanon exiting Excel Entertainment’s office in Mumbai, immediately sparking a flurry of rumours across social media and entertainment portals. This high-profile visit, combined with the ongoing search for “Don 3’s” female lead, created a perfect storm of speculation. Industry insiders quickly connected the dots, suggesting a significant development in the film’s casting.
Kriti Sanon Reportedly Agrees “Don 3”
According to sources close to the development, Kriti Sanon has not only received a narration for “Don 3” but has also agreed in principle to lead the film. The team reportedly found her to be the perfect fit for the role, citing her strong screen presence and acting prowess. This signals a major step towards finalising the cast for one of Bollywood’s most anticipated films.
Farhan Akhtar, who directs “Don 3” and also co-produces it under Excel Entertainment, has reportedly given his full approval to Kriti Sanon’s casting. Sources suggest that Akhtar and the creative team identified Sanon as possessing the qualities they sought in their female lead. Her rumoured inclusion would bring a fresh dynamic to the franchise while ensuring a seasoned actress steps into the pivotal role.
“Don 3” Set to Commence Filming in October 2025
With the casting seemingly falling into place, “Don 3” is now preparing for its principal photography. The film is expected to commence shooting in October 2025. This timeline aligns with previous reports that Ranveer Singh and Vikrant Massey (who reportedly plays the antagonist) would begin their schedules around the same period. Kriti Sanon will also reportedly manage her existing commitments before joining the “Don 3” team, ensuring a smooth transition into the high-profile project.
“Don 3” marks a new era for the beloved franchise, with Ranveer Singh stepping into the shoes of the iconic character previously immortalised by Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. The choice of Kriti Sanon, a National Award-winning actress with a diverse filmography, suggests the makers aim to maintain the franchise’s high standards of storytelling and performance.
Kriti Sanon’s Expanding Filmography
Kriti Sanon has consistently impressed audiences with her versatile performances in various genres, from romantic comedies like “Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya” to acclaimed dramas like “Mimi” and recent hits like “Crew.” Joining “Don 3” would undoubtedly represent another major milestone in her career, placing her at the forefront of a major action-thriller franchise alongside one of the industry’s biggest stars.
While an official announcement from Excel Entertainment or Kriti Sanon remains pending, the strong buzz and her recent office visit certainly point towards an exciting new development for “Don 3.” Fans eagerly await confirmation and further details about this highly anticipated pairing.
