The much-anticipated Don 3, directed by Farhan Akhtar, is officially set to start filming in January 2026 after facing several delays. A source confirmed to Subhash K Jha, “Yes, there’s been a delay—but it couldn’t be helped. Ranveer Singh, who has taken over the role from Shah Rukh Khan, faced significant online trolling for stepping into SRK’s shoes. Farhan and Ranveer mutually decided to wait until the controversy subsided. Ranveer also needed time to prepare physically and mentally for the role, which demands extensive martial arts training.”
The source elaborated that the delays were compounded when Kiara Advani, who was cast to replace Priyanka Chopra as the female lead, became pregnant. This change necessitated a pause in the film’s production. Additionally, Farhan Akhtar became deeply involved in his acting commitments for the war film 120 Bahadur, where he portrays Major Shaitan Singh. This film is set to release on November 21, 2025.
