Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Don 3’ is one of the most highly-awaited projects. For the third instalment, Ranveer Singh is taking over the reins of the titular character from King Khan, SRK. Joining him is ‘Kabir Singh’ fame Kiara Advani. For the previous two blockbuster titles, Priyanka Chopra starred opposite Shah Rukh Khan as Roma, the ‘junglee bilee.’ Her magnetic charm and the on-screen chemistry between the stars set the screens ablaze. Now, a Zoom report states that PeeCee might make her awaited Bollywood comeback with ‘Don 3.’
Fans are waiting for Priyanka’s return to Bollywood after six years following ‘The Sky is Pink.’ While she is taking over Hollywood, recent reports suggested that she will return in an SS Rajamouli project opposite Mahesh Babu. Now, the report of her ‘Don 3’ comeback has sparked fans’ interest and curiosities like nothing else. Soon after the report emerged, a Reddit thread made its way demanding PeeCee’s return as Roma. Several users stated that Kiara Advani is too ‘vanilla’ for the role.
As per the report, Priyanka’s return with the thrilling title is a likely possibility. A source close to Farhan Akhtar told the outlet that, “It is a very tempting possibility.” The source added, “And they are exploring it. You see, as long as Shah Rukh Khan helmed the franchise, there was no possibility of her (Priyanka) being part of Part 3. Once SRK opted out, the chances of her return grew exponentially.”
Meanwhile, under the Reddit thread, several fans are advocating for her return to the franchise. One user wrote, “No one among the current actress can play Roma as good as Priyanka. Farhan, Please bring her back as Roma. Her chemistry/pairing with Ranveer is good too.” Another claimed, “Kiara is quite a vanilla actress… like most the actresses today… no one can match PC ka jalwaaaa.” One fan added, “I don’t think Kiara has any considerable BO pull. They should have cast PC only. Always thought Kiara was too vanilla for Roma.” Moreover, one noted, “I hope that this rumour becomes true. Because I’m not saying that kiara is not good. But it’s like it would not look good if they would take Pc instead of kiara in Good Newz sequel if it’s made.”
