Kiara Advani to play a negative role in Farhan Akhtar's Don 3 opposite Ranveer Singh?

After years of anticipation and swirling rumors, Farhan Akhtar has officially announced the revival of the iconic Don franchise. The filmmaker is set to reimagine the series with Ranveer Singh. The exciting revelation came through a promotional teaser that introduces Ranveer Singh as the next-generation Don. While the production is still in its early stages, the hunt for the female lead opposite Ranveer has already begun.

What's cooking?

According to media reports, Kiara Advani has emerged as a potential candidate for the coveted leading lady role in Don 3. She was recently spotted outside Farhan Akhtar's office in Mumbai which made people speculate if she will be playing the female lead. As per Pinkvilla,  the actress' meeting with Farhan revolved around Don 3.

Who's saying what?

According to media reports, Farhan Akhtar shared the basic plotline of Don 3 with Kiara Advani and the latter is excited for the project. Unlike the previous portrayals, Kiara's character will not assume the role of Roma, famously portrayed by Priyanka Chopra. Instead, she will play an entirely fresh character. Reportedly, her character will embrace shades of negativity in the film. 

Meanwhile...

Don 3 is set to commence production in mid-2024 and is scheduled for a 2025 theatrical release. Ranveer Singh, who has his hands full with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Baiju Bawra alongside Alia Bhatt, will step into the shoes of the iconic Don character once his prior commitments are fulfilled.
