As anticipation builds for the upcoming ‘Don 3’, which will feature Ranveer Singh as the new Don, discussions about the female lead have taken center stage. While the decision to replace Shah Rukh Khan with Ranveer has sparked mixed reactions, fans are eager to see how this third installment unfolds.
Amidst these changes, rumors are swirling that Priyanka Chopra might not reprise her role as the formidable adversary of Don. While Kiara Advani’s name has been floated as a possible replacement, it’s intriguing to contemplate other actresses who could potentially take up the role. Here are five actresses who could bring their own flair to the character:
Deepika Padukone
Deepika has demonstrated her enigmatic charm and action prowess in films like ‘Pathaan’ and ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage’. Her sizzling chemistry with Ranveer, showcased in ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela’, could add an electrifying dynamic to the film.
Alia Bhatt
Having proven her versatility in roles ranging from ‘Raazi’ to ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’, Alia’s ability to seamlessly shift between spy and antagonist roles could make her a strong contender. Her chemistry with Ranveer, as seen in ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani’, could make for a captivating on-screen pair.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Drawing on her memorable performance in ‘Dhoom 2’ and her intense portrayal in ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’, Aishwarya could bring a mix of magnetism and complexity to her character. Imagining her opposite Ranveer sparks intrigue, especially if they portray an intense love-hate relationship.
Katrina Kaif
Katrina’s action-oriented roles in films like the ‘Tiger’ franchise and her improved screen presence over the years make her a strong candidate. The potential pairing of Ranveer and Katrina, coupled with their real-life connections, could generate significant attention.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu
Offering a fresh perspective, Samantha’s unique energy and acting prowess could inject a different dimension into the role. Her chemistry with Ranveer, combined with her track record in both Indian and international projects, could create a winning formula.
While the absence of SRK and Priyanka might be a disappointment for fans, the show must go on. The challenge of finding the right female lead to complement Ranveer’s portrayal adds an air of excitement to the project. As the anticipation builds, fans can only hope that the chosen actress will step into the shoes of the beloved character and make ‘Don 3’ a memorable installment in its own right.
