'Don 3': Sharvari to star opposite Ranveer Singh after pregnant Kiara Advani's exit

In a big update for fans of the action-packed 'Don' franchise, it looks like actress Sharvari Wagh is set to join the much-awaited 'Don 3' alongside Ranveer Singh.

This comes after rumours were rife that Kiara Advani has exited the movie following the announcement of her pregnancy.

As per a report by Bollywood Hungama, Sharvari has been finalised for the leading lady's role and will be joining Ranveer in this third chapter of the popular franchise. “Sharvari and one more actress were being considered. But she has managed to bag the role," states the report that also went on to add the film's team is excited to have her on board. The news of her casting comes after the actress bagged the role opposite Alia Bhatt in the spy film 'Alpha', directed by Shiv Rawail.

'Don 3' is expected to go on floors by the end of this year. The first two films had Shah Rukh playing the iconic role of Don. This time, the reins have been handed to Ranveer, to bring in a new vibe and energy.

This is a big moment for Sharvari, who is riding high after the success of her horror-comedy film 'Munjya'.

Kiara steps away to focus on her personal life

Kiara was earlier set to star opposite Ranveer in the Farhan Akhtar directorial. But earlier this year, the actress shared the happy news that she is pregnant with her first child with husband Sidharth Malhotra. Soon after, it was reported that she had stepped down from the movie to take a break from work. As reported by Pinkvilla, Kiara “chose to prioritise her personal life” over the project.

While she has reportedly stepped out of 'Don 3', the mommy-to-be continued to complete work on films like 'War 2' and 'Toxic'.
