Amid speculation surrounding the production timeline of Don 3, it has now been confirmed that the film is progressing as planned. The much-anticipated third installment of the Don franchise, starring Ranveer Singh in the titular role, will begin its production on schedule, with filming set to start in June 2025. This update comes in light of rumors suggesting delays due to team commitment issues. A spokesperson from Excel Entertainment, the film’s producers, clarified that these reports were untrue, emphasizing that the timeline for Don 3 remains unchanged.
The spokesperson from Excel Entertainment said, “The makers and Ranveer Singh are on the same page that the timeline of Don 3 remains unchanged. Any such news of postponement is not true.”
The announcement that Singh would be stepping into the shoes of Don, a role previously associated with Shah Rukh Khan, was made in 2023. This decision generated a great deal of excitement. The Don franchise, launched by Farhan Akhtar in 2006, quickly became one of Bollywood’s most iconic action series, with its high-octane thrills, stylish direction, and gripping storylines. The first two films, Don (2006) and Don 2 (2011), both featured Khan, a role that became his defining character. When it was announced that Singh would take on this role for Don 3, the news sparked a wave of curiosity.
Over the past year, there have been reports about delays in the film’s production. The Don 3 team, however, has been firm in their commitment to the planned timeline. Farhan Akhtar, the director, has emphasized that the team wanted to announce the project early on to avoid unnecessary rumors and to manage audience expectations. The pre-production work for the film has already begun, with the production team working behind the scenes to ensure that the film meets its ambitious standards.
Apart from Singh, Don 3 will also feature Kiara Advani in a pivotal role. Kiara was officially announced as the female lead in February 2024, and the news was met with excitement from fans. Akhtar shared the news on social media, welcoming Kiara to the Don universe. Kiara also expressed her enthusiasm about joining the franchise, posting a message about working with an incredible team.
While much of the film’s plot remains under wraps, it is expected that Don 3 will continue the franchise’s tradition of thrilling action sequences, stylish visuals, and unpredictable twists. The involvement of Akhtar as both the director and producer gives the film a solid creative foundation, with fans anticipating a fresh yet faithful continuation of the franchise’s legacy.
The release date for Don 3 has not yet been confirmed, but with the production on track, fans can expect more updates as filming progresses. The film’s progress is a testament to the determination of the team to deliver a high-quality installment in the beloved Don series, ensuring that the anticipation surrounding the film continues to build. As of now, fans are eager to see how Singh’s take on Don will compare to Khan’s iconic portrayal, and how the new additions, including Kiara, will contribute to the dynamic of the story.
