Cameos
Shah Rukh Khan to make a cameo in 'Don 3'?
Earlier reports have also suggested that the film will feature some major cameos, including that of Shah Rukh Khan. A source told India Today, "The makers are planning to add some drama by including Shah Rukh Khan's character." "Not much is known about the part; however, Farhan Akhtar reportedly reached out to SRK and narrated the character and the story around him." Moreover, Kiara Advani was initially paired opposite Singh but has reportedly been replaced by Kriti Sanon.
Return
Priyanka Chopra Jonas to return to 'Don' franchise?
Hinting at Priyanka Chopra Jonas's possible return, an insider close to the development told Zoom, "It is a very tempting possibility." "And they are exploring it. You see, as long as Shah Rukh Khan helmed the franchise, there was no possibility of her being part of Part 3." "Once SRK opted out, the chances of her return grew exponentially." Reportedly, the makers are aiming for a December 2026 release.
Previous collaboration

SRK and Chopra Jonas last worked together in the 2011 film Don 2, which was also directed by Akhtar. The film was a sequel to Don: The Chase Begins Again, which came out in 2006. In both films, Khan played the titular character of Don, while Chopra Jonas took on the role of Roma, an Interpol officer seeking revenge for her brother's death.
