The highly acclaimed production house, Excel Entertainment, set the stage for anticipation by teasing fans with news of their upcoming film ‘Don 3’. In a turn of high-profile casting news, they confirmed the addition of Kiara Advani to the star-studded line-up.
The announcement came early Tuesday morning as the production house welcomed Kiara, an actress celebrated for her seamless versatility and enthralling performances. Joining the charismatic Ranveer Singh, who has been previously named as the new face of the titular character of Don, Kiara is poised to bring a new energy to the already electrifying franchise.
Making her action-packed debut in the Don universe, Kiara’s role is eagerly awaited by fans, not just for her individual prowess but also for the promising on-screen dynamic with Ranveer.

Directed by Farhan Akhtar, ‘Don 3’ is the latest continuation of a legacy that has spanned decades.

The production house is no stranger to international acclaim, with its series ‘Inside Edge’ receiving a nomination at the International Emmy Awards.
Excel’s commitment to artistic excellence continues today, most recently evident in their win at the Berlinale Film Festival for ‘Dahaad’, which claimed several accolades including the Asian Academy Creative Award for Best Actor. As they embark on the journey of ‘Don 3’, expectations are set high for another exemplary addition to their illustrious catalogue.
The pedigree of the Don series has been solidified by its numerous fans, who have shown their affection across generations for the different portrayals of the iconic character. From Amitabh’s indelible mark to Shah Rukh’s captivating reinvention, the series has led to high expectations for what the new ensemble cast will bring to the table.
As Excel Entertainment gears up for this new chapter, their track record goes hand in hand with the excitement and anticipation from cinema-goers. Augmented by the fresh talent of Kiara Advani, and with the unparalleled creativity of Farhan Akhtar at the helm, ‘Don 3’ promises to be a magnificent blend of action, drama, and narrative finesse.
