Actress Kiara Advani, who recently played the lead in Shankar’s upcoming film Game Changer, has reportedly stepped away from her role in the much-anticipated Don 3 due to her pregnancy. The decision has prompted the makers to search for a new leading lady to star opposite Ranveer Singh in the third installment of the hit franchise.

Don 3, the follow-up to Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster films Don and Don 2, has been creating a buzz ever since it was announced with Ranveer Singh taking over the iconic role. Kiara Advani was initially cast as the female lead, but after confirming her pregnancy in February, she has opted out of the project.

In the wake of her exit, several names were reportedly considered, including top Bollywood and South Indian actresses. Among them, Kriti Sanon has emerged as the frontrunner. According to sources, Kriti is now set to take on the lead role, and an official announcement is expected soon.

Kriti, who has previously starred alongside Dhanush in Tere Ishq Mein, brings both fan excitement and star power to the project. News of her potential casting has already sparked celebration among fans eager to see her in a high-octane action role.
