Earlier this year, it was announced that Kiara Advani had been chosen as the female lead for Don 3, alongside Farhan Akhtar and Ranveer Singh. Now, we bring you the inside story of this casting decision for the first-ever Don Universe Film. The choice for the female lead in Don 3 came down to Kiara Advani and Kriti Sanon.
Farhan Akhtar had narrowed down his choices to two actresses for Don 3, and Ranveer Singh was particularly keen on having Kiara Advani on board. The two share a great off-screen bond, and Ranveer believed that this chemistry would translate beautifully on screen. Farhan then approached Kiara and pitched her the character.
Kiara has been paid a premium for her role in Don 3. The producers were more than happy to offer her the biggest paycheck of her career. ‘Kiara Advani has been paid Rs. 13 crores for Don 3, which is her highest fee to date. The actress is excited to prepare for the high-octane action sequences in the film. The amount she received for Don 3 is almost 50 percent higher than what she is earning for another action film, War 2, alongside Hrithik Roshan and JR. NTR,’ source revealed.
Don 3 is scheduled to begin filming in August with a major schedule planned and is expected to hit theaters in 2025.
