Furthermore, there's a new update on the lead antagonist for the movie. Here's everything we know...
When will Ranveer Singh commence Don 3?
Farhan Akhtar had announced Ranveer Singh as the leading face for Don 3, sending the internet into a frenzy. Now, a source has told Pinkvilla about the exact shooting schedule for Ranveer. The actor is currently busy with Dhurandhar and will be caught up with the same till September this year. He will then promote the movie with director Aditya Dhar and by the end of the year (December), Ranveer would already begin prep for Don 3. He and the makers hope to take the movie on floors as soon as we enter January 2026.
When will Kriti Sanon join Don 3?
Kriti Sanon had recently hinted at her association with the film. "Can't wait to work with you soon," the actress shared as her Instagram story. This happened when wishing Ranveer Singh happy birthday with the Dhurandhar first look reveal. The post, many believe, hinted at Don 3. Confirming that she is indeed a part of the movie, the source added, "Kriti also has Tere Ishk Mein up for release on November 28. The three key stakeholders are all set to enter the world of Don after wrapping their on-going commitments."
Vikrant Massey playing lead antagonist? Here's what we know
The little birdie then went on to hint that Vikrant Massey, whose name is being linked to Karan Johar's Dostana 2, could also be considered as the lead antagonist for Don 3. If that happens, Vikrant will re-collaborate with Ranveer after Dil Dhadakne Do. The source, however, confirmed that many faces have approached Farhan for the role, and nobody has been locked in yet. This birdie assures that the makers would have their lead antagonist within a month's time.
As for Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra's return, there is no confirmation on the same. The two actors are also busy with their own schedules, and thus, one cannot be certain if they will reunite for Don 3 after the first two installments, even if for a special appearance.
