Farhan Akhtar’s much-anticipated action thriller Don 3 has been making waves lately, especially after Kiara Advani stepped down from the project. Now, the buzz is all about Kriti Sanon, who is rumored to be the new female lead opposite Ranveer Singh. A viral video has added fuel to the fire, with fans convinced that Kriti is set to become the franchise’s next ‘Lady Don.’

Kriti’s Smile Sparks Casting Buzz

Kriti Sanon was recently spotted enjoying a dinner outing in Mumbai, looking stunning in a blue sleeveless dress. As she headed towards her car, paparazzi excitedly called out, “Kriti ji, Don 3, Lady Don!” While Kriti didn’t confirm anything, her subtle smile was enough to send fans into a frenzy. The video quickly went viral, and speculation about her involvement in the film intensified.

Why Kiara Left Don 3

Initially, Kiara Advani was announced as the lead opposite Ranveer Singh in Don 3. However, due to her pregnancy, she had to walk away from the film. This unexpected development opened the door for a new face—and all signs now point to Kriti Sanon.

According to a report by Pinkvilla, Kriti has already given her nod to the project and is expected to sign the contract soon. Sources claim that Farhan Akhtar and his team were looking for someone who could embody the strength and style of Roma, a pivotal character in the franchise—and Kriti seems to be the perfect fit.

Excel Entertainment Meeting Adds Fuel to Fire

Back in May, Kriti was spotted outside Farhan Akhtar’s production house, Excel Entertainment. Cameras captured her sharing a warm hug with producer Ritesh Sidhwani as she left the office. The sighting only strengthened rumors of her being cast in Don 3.

The Legacy of Don Continues

Don 3 is the latest installment in Farhan Akhtar’s blockbuster Don series, which previously featured legendary performances by Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan in the title role. This time, Ranveer Singh is set to step into the shoes of the iconic Don.

In an interview with BBC Asian Network, Farhan praised Ranveer’s dedication: “He’s fantastic for the role. He’s both excited and nervous, which is a good thing. It shows how seriously he’s taking it.” Reports also suggest that Vikrant Massey may join the cast in a crucial role.

Kriti Sanon’s Winning Streak

Kriti Sanon’s career graph has been soaring. She earned the National Award for her performance in Mimi and followed it up with back-to-back hits in 2024—Teri Baat Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya and Crew. She also made her debut as a producer with Do Patti. Currently, she is working on Tere Ishq Mein, another major project in her lineup.

If the rumors turn out to be true, Don 3 could mark another landmark moment in Kriti Sanon’s already impressive career. All eyes are now on an official confirmation. Until then, fans are keeping their fingers crossed—and replaying that viral ‘Lady Don’ video.
