It does, however, keep the iconic theme music intact throughout the video. We assume the JugJugg Jeeyo actress will be stepping into Priyanka Chopra's shoes, who headlined the past two installments.

The speculations around Kiara Advani being the female lead in Don 3 have sparked ever since she was spotted visiting the Excel Entertainment office recently. When Farhan was asked about the same, he dodged the question, saying it was all work in progress.

The actor-filmmaker said, "Well, it's all work in progress. I don't want to get ahead of myself and say something that I may have to take back for any other reason, but as and when it happens, you'll know.'
