About Don 3
Don 3, the third installment, directed by Farhan Akhtar, is being considered the most ambitious film in the franchise so far. Fans have long been debating whether Shah Rukh Khan will make a surprise return even after being given “passing the baton" - and these recent rumors have only fueled that buzz.
Sharvari to join Don 3?
As per Bollywood Hungama, Sharvari might replace Kiara Advani in Don 3 and star opposite Ranveer Singh. Reports say that Kiara left the project due to her pregnancy (she is now the mother of a baby girl) and to prioritize her health.
The portal shared, "Sharvari and one more actress were being considered. But she has managed to bag the role. The team at Excel Entertainment are excited to have her on board. Sharvari, too, is quite kicked to be a part of such a huge franchise and also because it’s different from Alpha, though both are slick action films." Meanwhile, according to a report in India Today, Don 3 may feature a high-energy track similar to 'Aaj Ki Raat', the iconic nightclub sequence from Don (2006) starring Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, and Isha Koppikar. The new version might feature Kriti Sanon.
