In a significant development concerning the eagerly awaited film Don 3, Kiara Advani has reportedly stepped back from her role due to her pregnancy. The production team, led by director Farhan Akhtar, is currently considering Sharvari as her replacement. According to information sourced from Bollywood Hungama, discussions are underway regarding this change in casting, although no official confirmation has been issued yet.
A source close to the project indicated, “Sharvari and another actress were in the running for the role, but it appears that Sharvari has secured it. The team at Excel Entertainment is thrilled to potentially have her on board. Sharvari herself is excited about joining such a significant franchise, especially as this project differs from her current endeavor, Alpha, even though both films belong to the action genre.”
As per industry reports, Don 3 is anticipated to commence filming by the end of this year.
Initially slated to feature both Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani in lead roles, the film’s trajectory shifted after Advani revealed her pregnancy earlier this year. Following this announcement, it was reported that she chose to prioritize her family life over her participation in Don 3. A source referenced by Pinkvilla noted that Kiara ultimately decided to exit the project.
On another note, Sharvari is currently working on her upcoming film Alpha, directed by Shiv Rawail, which also stars Alia Bhatt. Reflecting on her career choices, Sharvari previously expressed her enthusiasm for action films, stating, “I love action as a genre and I binge-watch action movies with my sister! So, when I was offered Alpha, I jumped! In my head, I always wanted to do action as an actor. So, I’m getting to live my dream.”
