Priyanka Chopra To Return As SRK's 'Jungli Billi' In Ranveer Singh's Don 3? Here's What We Know

Farhan Akhtar had earlier announced that Ranveer Singh would be the next don in the franchise. The Don 3 announcement left some fans of the franchise upset as they wanted Shah Rukh Khan to reprise his role. They then began discussing which actress would be suited to play Priyanka Chopra’s Roma. In good news to them, it is being reported that Priyanka has been roped in for the film.

According to Koimoi, after Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt’s highly anticipated film Jee Le Zara has been consistently delayed, Farhan Akhtar has cast Priyanka in Don 3. The report mentioned a source as saying, “Farhan Akhtar is now prioritizing Don 3 over Jee Le Zara as the male cast of Jee Le Zara is yet to work out. He will now go ahead full-throttle with Don 3 with Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra.”

Earlier, there was a lot of speculation that either Kiara Advani or Kriti Sanon would play the female lead in Ranveer Singh’s Don 3. However, according to the latest report, Priyanka Chopra will return to the franchise.

Priyanka’s portrayal of Roma in Shah Rukh Khan’s Don and Don 2 was greatly appreciated by fans. Her fiery chemistry with Shah Rukh on-screen was a significant factor contributing to the films’ success. While Shah Rukh will not be seen as Don anymore, fans are excited to watch Priyanka return to the franchise.

As for Ranveer and Priyanka, they have starred together in films like Bajirao Mastani and Dil Dhadakne Do. The audience loves to watch the two actors together on screen. However, this news is receiving a mixed reaction online.

On Reddit, one person wrote, “This would be really cool if it’s true. They have really good chemistry with each other.” Another added, “Jungli Billi is back .” One person wrote, “Priyanka & Ranveer look good together, why not?”

However, someone commented, “How he will justify to the audience that Jungli Billi is the same but the main Don is changed?” Another added, “A new actress is going to be cast 100 %.” One person wrote, “Omg pls take Kiara, Kriti or if we really want to go left field- Sobhita. PLEASE.”

It should be noted that there is no confirmation from Priyanka or the makers yet.
