Actress Kriti Sanon has reportedly replaced Kiara Advani as the female lead in Don 3. The film, which stars Ranveer Singh as the new Don, was announced by Farhan Akhtar in 2023 and was initially slated to begin filming last year. However, due to multiple delays, the project is yet to go on floors. Kiara, who was originally cast, stepped away from the film to 'prioritise her personal life' following her pregnancy announcement.
While an official announcement about Kriti joining the cast of Don 3 is still awaited, the actress was spotted at a restaurant on Saturday evening. As she exited and walked towards her car, the paparazzi playfully teased her by calling out 'Lady Don.' Kriti was seen blushing as she smiled and made her way to the car, further fuelling speculation about her role in the film.
Check out the video:
Don starred Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Boman Irani in prominent roles. The film was released in 2006 and won Best Asian Film at the Neuchatel International Fantastic Film Festival. Later, its sequel was released in 2011 and was declared a hit.
The Farhan Akhtar directorial was a remake of 1978's Don, featuring Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role.
