Don 3: Ranveer Singh starts action training as Farhan Akhtar’s film gets back on track

Ranveer Singh’s next big project, Don 3, is officially moving forward. The update comes soon after Ranveer was spotted in public with wife Deepika Padukone for the first time since the release of his blockbuster Dhurandhar.

Directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy thriller has been dominating the box office and recently crossed the Rs 500 crore mark in India, adding to the buzz around Ranveer’s upcoming films.

Don 3 was announced in August 2023, with a teaser confirming Ranveer as the new Don.

He steps into the role earlier made iconic by Shah Rukh Khan. The film was initially expected to begin shooting in January 2025, but director Farhan Akhtar’s prior commitments reportedly delayed the schedule. This led to speculation that the project might have been shelved.

A source has now confirmed that the film is very much on track and that Ranveer has already begun preparing for it.

The first schedule of Don 3 is expected to begin between late January and early February next year.

Parts of the film will be shot in Jeddah, marking an international schedule for the action thriller.

There were earlier reports that Vikrant Masseyhad exited the film as the antagonist and that Tamil actor Arjun Das might replace him. However, the makers are reportedly still in talks with Vikrant.
