Bollywood actress Kiara Advani has officially stepped down from her role in the highly anticipated film Don 3 following the announcement of her pregnancy. The decision, made in mutual agreement with the film's producers, reflects Advani's commitment to prioritizing her family during this special phase of her life.
Advani, who was confirmed as the female lead in the Farhan Akhtar-directed action thriller, was set to star opposite Ranveer Singh, who takes on the titular role in this reboot of the iconic Don franchise. The film, which is slated to begin production later this year, will now proceed with a new leading lady as the filmmakers search for a replacement.
The actress, known for her stellar performances in films like Shershaah and Kabir Singh, shared the joyous news of her pregnancy with her husband, actor Sidharth Malhotra, just days ago. The couple’s announcement was met with an outpouring of love and congratulations from fans and industry peers alike.
Currently, Advani is wrapping up her remaining professional commitments, including War 2 and Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, before taking a temporary break from acting. Her decision to step away from Don 3 has been met with understanding and support from the film's team, who respect her choice to focus on her growing family.
While fans may miss seeing Advani in Don 3, her decision highlights the importance of balancing personal and professional priorities. The actress is expected to return to the silver screen after her maternity break, with exciting projects like Shakti Shalini and Dhoom 4 reportedly in the pipeline for 2026.
As Don 3 gears up for production, all eyes are now on the filmmakers to reveal the new female lead who will join Ranveer Singh in this much-awaited action-packed venture. Meanwhile, Kiara Advani’s fans eagerly await her return, cheering her on as she embarks on this beautiful new chapter of her life.
