Don 3 has been under the spotlight since its initial announcement, marked by significant casting changes.

Kiara Advani was another high-profile name who was part of the earlier cast but is no longer involved. These shifting dynamics have sparked numerous casting speculations within the industry, keeping fans and media abuzz about who will ultimately join the ensemble. As the makers work to finalize the lineup ahead of production, the anticipation for Don 3 continues to build, promising an action-packed cinematic experience with a fresh cast.
