Is Kiara Advani quitting ‘Don 3’?

Kiara Advani has reportedly stepped away from Don 3, prioritising her personal life after announcing her pregnancy.

The reported decision comes just over a year after she was cast as the leading lady.

Kiara was set to star alongside Ranveer Singh in the highly-anticipated film.

However, with her pregnancy announcement on February 28, 2025, a source has said she has stepped away.

A source said: “She is currently wrapping up shooting for Toxic and War 2, post which Advani will take a break to spend time with family and her child.

“Her decision was respected by the makers, who are now on the lookout to find a new heroine.”

The news of her exit comes as a surprise to fans who were excited to see her in a new chapter of the Don franchise.

Farhan Akhtar, who is directing the film under Excel Entertainment, had earlier shared that production would begin in 2025.

Kiara Advani’s pregnancy announcement was met with overwhelming love from fans and Bollywood stars alike.

She and Sidharth Malhotra shared a picture of tiny baby socks along with the caption:

“The greatest gift of our lives. Coming soon.”

Celebrities such as Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt congratulated the couple.

Don 3 was set to be a milestone in Kiara’s career, marking her first collaboration with Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar.

Kiara’s exit raises questions about the film’s production, as shooting has yet to begin.

Don 3 is already facing major changes, especially with Shah Rukh Khan’s departure from the franchise.

Now, fans are curious to see who will replace Kiara Advani.

Meanwhile, reports indicate that Vikrant Massey is being considered as the antagonist.

Before stepping away from work, Kiara is expected to complete her ongoing projects.

She is currently filming War 2 alongside Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR.

In addition to that, she will also complete filming for Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups.

Once these commitments are fulfilled, she will reportedly take a maternity break.

As Kiara and Sidharth, who married in February 2023, prepare to embrace parenthood, fans have showered them with well-wishes.

Kiara Advani’s admirers remain supportive of her decision, eagerly waiting for her return to the big screen.
