Kriti Sanon Replaces Kiara Advani, Joins Don Franchise
Kriti Sanon officially joins the Don universe as the female lead. Kiara Advani, previously cast opposite Ranveer Singh, stepped away from the project following her pregnancy announcement. The casting update marks a new chapter in the legacy of the Don franchise.
Iconic Vibes Return – ‘Aaj Ki Raat’ Style Track in the Works
According to trusted sources, the filmmakers are preparing to recreate the vibe of ‘Aaj Ki Raat,’ the electrifying nightclub track from Don (2006), originally featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, and Isha Koppikar. The new song will be a high-energy performance number, focusing on Kriti Sanon, paired with another male actor who is yet to be finalized. The track is expected to combine glamour, sleek choreography, and narrative tension, much like the original.
Confusion Over Villain Role Resolved
Contrary to earlier speculation, Karan Veer Mehra is not playing the villain in Don 3. Reports had wrongly linked him to the antagonist’s role, but a fact-check has since clarified that this is inaccurate. Vikrant Massey, who was initially cast as the villain, has now opted out of the project. Casting for the antagonist is still in progress, with an official confirmation expected soon.
Shooting to Begin by End of 2025
The Don 3 reboot is scheduled to begin production later this year. With a revamped cast and a modern take on classic sequences, the film is set to blend nostalgia with a new-age cinematic style. Official announcements regarding the final cast and full crew are expected shortly. The film is being produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under the Excel Entertainment banner.
