Will Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra reunite for most awaited action saga Don 3? Here’s the truth

As Don 3 is all set to hit the floors, the buzz is louder than ever. According to several media reports, Ranveer Singh takes over the reins as the new Don, stepping into shoes once worn by Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan.

According to reports, Kiara Advani was initially cast as the female lead, but her reported pregnancy has led to her stepping away from the project.

According to a report by India Today, Shah Rukh Khan might appear in a cameo — a twist sure to raise eyebrows and heartbeats. “The makers are planning to add some drama by including Shah Rukh Khan’s character. Not much is known about the part,” said a source.

Meanwhile, Bollywood Hungama reported a potential return of Priyanka Chopra to the franchise. “There is a possibility that Priyanka Chopra may return to the Don franchise,” it stated. If both stars appear, it could mark the long-awaited on-screen reunion of SRK and Priyanka, last seen together in Don 2 (2011).
