Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment has finally confirmed that Don 3 will star Kriti Sanon as the leading lady. Kriti Sanon has been confirmed for Don 3! After many weeks of speculation and teasing, Farhan Akhtar's Excel Entertainment has finally confirmed that Kriti Sanon has replaced new mom Kiara Advani in Don 3. The film will star Ranveer Singh as the lead, and Farhan Akhtar will once again direct the film, just like Shah Rukh Khan's Don and Don 2. As per a release by Excel Entertainment about Farhan Akhtar's 120 Bahadur, the actor-director 'is also preparing for his next directorial venture, Don 3, which is expected to go on floors in January 2026. The film will feature Ranveer Singh and Kriti Sanon in leading roles. Casting for the film is underway, with the makers reportedly in talks with a top A-list actor to take on the intense antagonist role". The film was earlier supposed to feature Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani as the leads. However, during her pregnancy, Kiara opted out of the film. A Pinkvilla report claimed that she has 'chosen to prioritise her personal life" over the film. Reports then suggested that Kriti Sanon had replaced Kiara. Kriti Sanon was often spotted outside Excel Entertainment's office. Recently, she posted a birthday note for Ranveer Singh on Instagram and mentioned towards the end, 'P.S. Looking forward to working with you soon!" These things only fuelled the speculations while official confirmations were awaited. However, now, Excel Entertainment's press note confirms that Kriti Sanon has been cast as the leading lady in Don 3. The press note comes soon after Kiara Advani announced that she has welcomed her first child with Sidharth Malhotra- a baby girl. The couple welcomed their daughter on July 15, 2025, at Reliance Hospital in Mumbai. Meanwhile, even though Excel Entertainment has confirmed Kriti Sanon as the leading lady for Don 3, they are yet to address rumours about Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra making cameos in the film. As for the antagonist, reports claim that while Vikrant Massey and Vijay Deverakonda were approached for the role, both actors declined the opportunity due to the character lacking depth. With Kriti Sanon and Ranveer Singh being paired on screen for the first time, it will be interesting to see who will step in as the villain in Farhan Akhtar's Don 3.

In a post on Instagram, the artist slammed the critics who accused him of gaining fame and views on his song video after Radhika's death. The video went viral after Radhika Yadav's murder. He said that whatever money this song brings to him, now or later, he won't keep a single penny and all of it would go to charity. 'A lot of people say I'm gaining fame because of what happened to Radhika. That my song Karwaan is trending, and I'll earn from it. So let me say this clearly — Whatever I receive from Karwaan — whether monthly royalties from @iprsmusic or revenue from @songdewnetwork I won't keep a single rupee," he said. He further said that as long as this song is played in the world, every payment, every month, for the rest of his life, will go towards helping the poor feeding the hungry, supporting the helpless, and doing something meaningful. 'If even one sincere prayer comes from someone I've helped, and it brings peace to her soul, that's more than enough for me. This isn't about numbers. Not about fame. Just a small gesture in someone's memory," he added. He further reiterated that he never wanted attention and has always worked with honesty and respect. He also urged the people not to disturb him, saying that he has no connection with Radhika other than participating in the music video last year. 'Rest in peace, Radhika. You'll always be remembered," he added.

The police said that they were investigating all possible angles in Radhika's murder, including what her mother was doing when the incident occurred.
