Is Shah Rukh Khan joining Ranveer Singh in Farhan Akhtar's Don 3? Here's what we know
Is the Don franchise about to pull off the biggest crossover in recent Bollywood history? If recent reports are anything to go by, Shah Rukh Khan may soon share screen space with Ranveer Singh in Don 3—and fans have every reason to be excited. After years of delays, Farhan Akhtar is finally set to take the iconic action-thriller franchise forward, with filming expected to begin by January 2026. Shah Rukh Khan's reported cameo: What we know According to a report by Siasat, Farhan Akhtar personally reached out to Shah Rukh Khan to pitch a character that's small in screen time but pivotal to the film's storyline. Despite being busy with his own big-budget film King, the superstar has reportedly agreed to be part of Don 3, largely due to his close relationship with Farhan. If confirmed, this will mark the first time SRK and Ranveer appear together onscreen, setting the stage for a truly memorable cinematic moment. SRK's appearance is expected to be more than just a nostalgic nod—it's being described as crucial to the overall plot. The news of his potential cameo has already generated massive buzz online, reigniting interest in the film and the future of the Don universe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Xu hướng nhà container: Giải pháp nhà ở hiện đại và bền vững Visionary Echo Tìm Ngay Undo Is Kiara Advani part of Don 3? Meanwhile, another major development involves Kiara Advani. As cited by Business Standard, Kiara was initially expected to replace Priyanka Chopra as the female lead but had to step back due to her pregnancy. This unexpected twist led Farhan to pause production temporarily. However, new reports suggest that Kiara is now back on board, clearing another major hurdle in the film's development. Aside from Kiara's pregnancy, Farhan Akhtar's packed schedule also contributed to the film's delay. As per Business Standard, the filmmaker-actor has been fully immersed in 120 Bahadur, a war drama where he plays Major Shaitan Singh. That film is slated for release on November 21, 2025, which leaves room for Don 3 to go on floors right after. About Don 3 and the franchise legacy The Don franchise has seen multiple iterations over the decades. It began with the 1978 classic starring Amitabh Bachchan in the titular role. Shah Rukh Khan later took over the reins in Farhan Akhtar's 2006 reboot, which was followed by a successful sequel in 2011. Alongside SRK, Don 2 featured Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Boman Irani and went on to win the Best Asian Film award at the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival. Now, Don 3 aims to take that legacy forward with Ranveer Singh stepping into the lead role. The film is scheduled to begin shooting in January 2026, with a theatrical release planned for December of the same year.
