MUMBAI: Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3 marks a bold new chapter in the iconic franchise, introducing Ranveer Singh as the titular anti-hero. This reboot aims to blend the franchise's legacy with contemporary flair, offering a fresh perspective for both new audiences and long-time fans.

The film's action sequences are meticulously choreographed, delivering high-octane thrills that are both stylish and engaging.

Initially, Kiara Advani was signed on to play the female lead opposite Ranveer. However, recent reports suggest that she has exited the project, with Kriti Sanon stepping in to take her place. The antagonist’s casting, too, has gone through reshuffles.

While earlier rumours hinted at Vikrant Massey joining the film as the villain, he reportedly isn’t part of the movie and the reason is still unknown.
