Kiara Advani’s Exit from Don 3: The Big Reveal
Kiara Advani was confirmed as the female lead opposite Ranveer Singh in Don 3 back in February 2024. The announcement had sparked excitement, marking her first collaboration with Singh and director Farhan Akhtar. However, just days after sharing the joyous news of her pregnancy on March 1, 2025, reports emerged that Kiara has opted out of the film. As per a report by Pinkvilla, the decision was mutual between the actress and the Don 3 team, with Kiara choosing to focus on her personal life as she prepares to welcome her first child.
The timing of her exit aligns with her current commitments. Kiara is wrapping up shooting for War 2 alongside Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, as well as Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups with Yash. It is said that she plans to complete these projects before taking a well-deserved break, leaving Don 3—which is yet to begin production—out of her immediate plans.
Why Kiara Stepped Away: Prioritizing Motherhood
Kiara and Sidharth Malhotra, who tied the knot in February 2023, announced their pregnancy with a heartwarming Instagram post featuring tiny baby socks and the caption, “The greatest gift of our lives. Coming soon.” The news was met with an outpouring of love from fans and Bollywood peers alike, including Kareena Kapoor Khan and Alia Bhatt.
What Happens to Don 3 Now?
Don 3, the third installment of the iconic franchise originally led by Amitabh Bachchan and later Shah Rukh Khan, has been in the spotlight since Ranveer Singh was announced as the new Don in August 2023. Farhan Akhtar recently confirmed that shooting would commence in 2025, with Vikrant Massey rumored to play the antagonist. Kiara’s exit, however, throws a curveball into the production timeline. However, neither Farhan Akhtar nor the Don 3 team has issued an official statement on Kiara’s departure or her replacement as of now, leaving room for anticipation to build.
