Kriti Sanon or Sharvari Wagh: Who will replace Kiara Advani in Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3?

With Kiara Advani, who is expecting her first child, stepping away from Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3, the Ranveer Singh-led film finds itself back at square one, with no leading lady attached for the moment. This has sparked a wave of discussions among fans about who could step in as the perfect replacement.

For those who might not know, Kiara Advani, who recently announced her pregnancy with husband Sidharth Malhotra, reportedly opted out of the highly anticipated Don 3 to focus on her personal life and well-being during this special time.

With no leading lady in sight for Don 3, a project that has already faced a series of setbacks, fans are actively debating potential replacements on social media. Some are hoping that Farhan Akhtar and Ranveer Singh will bring back National Award-winning actress Kriti Sanon, who was previously considered for the role before Kiara was finalized. Others are suggesting that the filmmakers could take this opportunity to cast rising star Sharvari Wagh, known for her roles in Munjya, Vedaa, and Maharaj.

On Reddit, one user commented, "Wasn’t Kriti Sanon in the running before Kiara was finalized? She must be very happy OR let’s see if Sharvari swoops in for this." Another agreed, saying, "Sharvari would be a great choice," while someone else remarked, "Sharvari would look too young for this role."

In the same thread, another fan noted, "Farhan and Ranveer had rejected Kriti for Kiara, so now that Kiara has stepped out, I doubt they’d go back to the person they initially turned down. And even if they do, I don’t think Kriti would accept it."

A suggestion followed: "She shouldn’t accept it if offered. She’s doing great with content-driven roles in well-written films that showcase her acting skills, often in mid-budget movies." Another user chimed in, "Offer Kriti a bigger paycheck and more screen time than Ranveer. She’s the real ‘Don’ in the movie."

Fans also threw in a wildcard suggestion, proposing Heeramandi star Sharmin Sehgal as a potential candidate.

Meanwhile, some fans have rallied for the return of Priyanka Chopra as Roma in Don 3.
