John Abraham to star alongside Meenakshi Chaudhary in Force 3

John Abraham is all set to return to the big screen with the highly anticipated Force 3. The actor will reportedly start filming in November and is rumoured to be paired with  Lucky Bhaskar actor Meenakshi Chaudhary.

According to Pinkvilla, sources close to the film have revealed that Meenakshi Chaudhary, who starred in GOAT, Guntur Kaaram, HIT 2, Lucky Baskhar, and Sankranthi Vasthunam, will be making her Bollywood debut in Force 3.

The source said, “After auditioning several actresses, John Abraham and Bhav Dhulia have locked Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead. Like John, she too will have an action-oriented role and is expected to undergo intensive training over the next few months to prepare for the part.”

The source added, “Pre-production is progressing rapidly. John will shift his focus to Force 3 as soon as he wraps up shooting for the Rakesh Maria biopic directed by Rohit Shetty. That project is expected to conclude by the end of October, setting Force 3 up for a release in the first half of 2026.”

Force was directed by the late Nishikant Kamat and featured John Abraham in an avatar that had never been seen before in 2011. Abhinay Deo's follow-up film Force 2, which featured Sonakshi Sinha and Tahir Raj Bhasin in completely different roles, caused a stir in 2016.

Force 2 received a lot of positive reviews from fans and advanced the plot, and made history as the first series to pay homage to the notion of a macho lead.
