Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3 Unites SRK and Ranveer While Rumors Hint at Priyanka Chopra’s Return as Roma
Don 3 is shaping up to be one of Bollywood’s most exciting projects. Ranveer Singh is stepping into the shoes of the iconic Don, and now, reports confirm a surprise twist. Shah Rukh Khan is expected to make a powerful cameo in the film. Though he won’t reprise his lead role, his brief appearance is expected to carry weight in the storyline.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Impactful Cameo Confirmed
Farhan Akhtar, the director behind the rebooted Don universe, reportedly reached out to SRK himself. The two share a long-standing professional bond. Despite a packed schedule with his upcoming film King, SRK has agreed to make an appearance through a cameo.
While the cameo is short, insiders hint it will leave a lasting impact, likely tying the legacy of the past to the future of the franchise.
First-Ever Onscreen Appearance of SRK and Ranveer Together
This cameo will also mark the first time Shah Rukh Khan and Ranveer Singh appear together on screen. That detail alone has fans buzzing, with many eager to see how the storyline blends both stars’ presence in the same cinematic world. The film is expected to begin production in January 2026.
Major Casting Changes and Ongoing Speculation
Alongside these updates, the casting saw another shift. Kriti Sanon is likely replacing Kiara Advani as the female lead. Kiara reportedly exited due to her pregnancy but might return later in a different role.
Meanwhile, speculation also surrounds Priyanka Chopra, who might reprise her character Roma. Nothing has been confirmed, but the buzz continues to build.
The Legacy and the Future of Don
The Don franchise started in 1978 with Amitabh Bachchan. Shah Rukh Khan took it forward with the 2006 and 2011 versions. Now, with Ranveer Singh at the helm and a possible handoff through SRK’s cameo, Don 3 promises both nostalgia and a fresh chapter.
A Grand Vision Set for 2026 Release
Planning for a release by the end of 2026, this movie could become the next big thing for a whole new generation. With Farhan Akhtar returning as director along with two massive actors on board, everything is mapped out for another cinematic jewel of Bollywood.
