Bollywood actress Kiara Advani has reportedly stepped away from Ranveer Singh-starrer Don 3 following her pregnancy announcement with husband Sidharth Malhotra. The actress was earlier confirmed as the female lead in Farhan Akhtar’s much-anticipated film.

No official confirmation from the makers yet

As per a report, Kiara Advani has chosen to prioritize her personal life over Don 3. However, there has been no official confirmation from either the actress or the makers of the film regarding her exit. Last year, Excel Entertainment welcomed Kiara to the Don universe through a social media announcement, but no details about her role were disclosed.

Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra’s pregnancy announcement

Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra shared the joyful news of their pregnancy last week with a heartwarming post on social media. The couple posted an image featuring a pair of tiny socks, captioning it, “The greatest gift of our lives. Coming soon.” Fans and industry colleagues showered the couple with congratulatory messages.

Kiara’s upcoming projects

While stepping away from Don 3, Kiara Advani is currently wrapping up War 2, where she will be seen alongside Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. She is also working on Toxic, starring Kannada superstar Yash.

Beyond these confirmed projects, speculation is rife regarding Kiara’s involvement in Shakti Shalini and Dhoom 4, both set for a 2026 release. Whether she will continue with these projects or take a break remains to be seen, with an official announcement awaited.

Netflix is set to release its first Tamil original feature film of 2025, TEST, on April 4. Starring R. Madhavan, Nayanthara, Siddharth, and Meera Jasmine, the film explores life-altering decisions made against the backdrop of a gripping cricket match.

Directed by S. Sashikanth, TEST marks his directorial debut after years of producing films. The story revolves around three protagonists, each facing intense moral dilemmas that challenge their resilience and ambitions beyond the cricket field.

Sharing his thoughts on the film, Sashikanth said, “Having nurtured stories as a producer for years, stepping into the director’s chair for TEST was both exhilarating and deeply personal. This film is about resilience, the weight of choices, and how life itself is the greatest test of all. Bringing together R. Madhavan, Nayanthara, and Siddharth, three powerhouse performers for the first time, made this journey even more special.”

Netflix India’s Vice-President of Content, Monika Shergill, highlighted the film’s significance, calling it a “deeply compelling drama thriller that tests the moral thresholds of its three protagonists.”

With high stakes that transcend the game itself, TEST delves into the profound impact of one decision that can change everything.
