Sobhita Dhulipala to feature in an item song opposite Ranveer Singh in Don 3?

In a significant development in the much-anticipated "Don 3," it appears that Sobhita Dhulipala is being considered for a major role opposite Ranveer Singh. According to recent reports, the actress, known for her versatility and compelling performances, has been approached by the filmmakers for an item song in this next installment of the Don franchise. Sobhita Dhulipala, who has recently been in the spotlight for her engagement to Naga Chaitanya, is currently in discussions with Farhan Akhtar, the director of the Don series.

Sources suggest that she has already had several meetings with Farhan Akhtar and his team, which could potentially lead to her being featured in the film. While nothing has been officially signed, the ongoing negotiations indicate that the makers are keen on having her bring her unique charm and presence to the movie.

A source close to the production revealed, "Sobhita, who has left the audience impressed with her versatility, is now planning to do something that she has not done before, and it looks like Don 3 is the answer for her. Going by her oomph and persona, she will play the perfect attraction in the film. We have learned that Farhan Akhtar has approached Sobhita to do an item song in the film as he is very much convinced she will ace it like no other actress."

This possible inclusion of Sobhita Dhulipala adds another layer of excitement to "Don 3," a film that already has significant buzz around it due to the casting of Ranveer Singh as the new Don. The franchise, which previously saw Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan in the titular role, is known for its high-stakes action and stylized presentation, and Sobhita's potential role could further elevate its appeal.

However, as with any high-profile casting, this news comes with its share of anticipation and skepticism. The Don franchise has a massive fan base, and the decision to replace Shah Rukh Khan with Ranveer Singh already stirred up a storm among the fans. While many are excited to see what Singh brings to the iconic role, others are nostalgic for Khan's portrayal and have expressed their disappointment.

Farhan Akhtar, in an interview with the BBC Asian Network, addressed the backlash he received for casting Singh in the lead role. He mentioned, "I’m just really looking forward to get it going. I mean, Ranveer is amazing. He’s great for the part. He’s also, as you can imagine, really excited and really nervous, about the thing—you’re filling some big shoes before you. But we went through the same emotional process when Shah Rukh did it and everyone was like, ‘Oh my God, how can you replace Mr. Bachchan?’ That whole thing happened then."

Adding Sobhita to the mix may very well be part of the strategy to refresh the franchise while maintaining the high expectations that fans have from the Don series. Her involvement would not only bring in her dedicated fan base but also add a contemporary edge to the film, especially with an item number that is likely to be a standout moment in the movie.

"Don 3" is set to be one of the most awaited films of the coming years, with its release expected in 2025. The anticipation surrounding the film is palpable, especially with the confirmed inclusion of Kiara Advani alongside Ranveer Singh. As the film progresses through its pre-production stages, all eyes will be on the final cast announcement and the kind of roles these actors will embody.

For now, fans of Sobhita Dhulipala and the Don series will have to wait for an official confirmation. But if the reports are true, audiences are in for a treat, with Sobhita likely to bring her signature style and charisma to one of Bollywood's most iconic franchises.
