In early February 2024, Bollywood Hungama disclosed that Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar are gearing up to commence filming the highly anticipated third installment of the Don franchise by August 2024. Recently, it was officially announced that Kiara Advani will be playing the lead role, presumably as Roma, in Don 3. Now, the production team is set to kickstart preparations for the project next month, with a focus on intense action training conducted by experts from Thailand.

According to a report by Mid-Day, a source shared insights, stating, “Ranveer and Kiara will embark on their physical training regimen, commencing with agility training, starting late March. Renowned martial arts specialists from Thailand have been enlisted for this purpose.” Farhan Akhtar is determined to elevate the action sequences in the film, aiming to bring a fresh perspective to the genre.

The source elaborated, “In recent years, Hindi cinema has witnessed a variety of stylized action, from films like War (2019) to Pathaan (2023) and Fighter. Hence, Farhan aims to innovate the action sequences. He has engaged in numerous discussions with action choreographers from India and abroad to explore various possibilities. The goal is to offer a distinct action experience that sets Don 3 apart from other recent blockbusters.”

Earlier in February 2024, a Bollywood Hungama source revealed, “The film is currently finalizing its cast. It’s confirmed that the pre-production phase of Don 3 will commence next month, followed by shooting scheduled to begin in August this year. Just like its predecessors, Don 3 is expected to surprise the audience with unexpected twists.”

Recent reports also highlighted the substantial budget allocated for the film. According to insiders, Don 3 will be the most expensive installment in the franchise. “While Don 1 and Don 2, featuring Shah Rukh Khan, were produced on moderate budgets, Farhan Akhtar’s vision for Don 3 is to create a global cinematic experience. The aim is not only to compete with Indian action films but also to resonate globally in terms of scale and quality,” revealed a close source. Don 3 is slated to have a budget of Rs. 275 crore, excluding print and publicity expenses. “The action sequences are conceptualized to position Don 3 on par with the Spy Universe. What sets it apart from other Indian action films is the protagonist’s portrayal, which encompasses shades of gray,” the source further added.

The first film in the franchise, released in 2006, was a remake of the classic 1978 film directed by Chandra Barot and starred Amitabh Bachchan. Don 2, the sequel released in 2011, continued the narrative, further exploring the story of the infamous Don.
