Farhan Akhtar’s much-anticipated ‘Don 3’, starring Ranveer Singh in the titular role, has been a hot topic since its announcement. The film initially had Kiara Advani slated to play the female lead, but reports indicate she had to step down due to her pregnancy, leaving a significant void in the casting. This development quickly ignited a flurry of speculation, with multiple reports suggesting that Kriti Sanon was a strong contender to replace her. Now, Kriti Sanon`s recent playful interaction with the paparazzi has further fuelled these rumours, making fans believe she might indeed be the new "Lady Don."

She has the aura to play Roma on screen and is excited to sign the dotted lines soon."
Adding more weight to these reports, the actress was also spotted outside Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment office in Mumbai in May. This sighting sent fans into a frenzy, reinforcing the belief that she was indeed being considered for the pivotal role in Don 3.
While there has been no official confirmation from the makers or Kriti Sanon herself, her recent reaction and the consistent industry whispers strongly suggest that we might soon see her step into the shoes of the Lady Don, continuing the legacy of powerful female leads in the Don franchise.
