Bollywood is abuzz with speculation as Kriti Sanon’s viral reaction to being called “Lady Don” by paparazzi has reignited rumors of her joining Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3, following Kiara Advani’s exit due to pregnancy.
Kriti Sanon’s Silent Smile Speaks Volumes
In a now-viral video, Kriti was spotted in Mumbai wearing a stunning midnight blue dress when photographers called out, “Kriti ji, Don 3. Lady Don. Rukiye na yaha pe Lady Don.” Though she didn’t respond verbally, her blushing smile and composed demeanor have fans convinced she’s stepping into the iconic role once played by Priyanka Chopra.
Reports Suggest She’s Already On Board
According to a Pinkvilla report, Kriti has agreed in principle to play the female lead opposite Ranveer Singh, who replaces Shah Rukh Khan as the new Don. Sources close to the production say the team was looking for an actress with strong screen presence, and Kriti fits the bill “like hand in glove.”
From Kiara to Kriti: A Casting Shift
Kiara Advani was initially cast as the female lead but had to step down due to her pregnancy. Kriti, who was reportedly in the running from the start, now appears to be the frontrunner. Her recent visit to Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment office in May further fueled speculation.
Fans React to the ‘Lady Don’ Buzz
Social media is flooded with excitement, with many calling Kriti a “perfect fit” for the role. While there’s no official confirmation yet, her viral moment has been interpreted as a soft launch of her casting in the high-octane action thriller.
