Not Priyanka Chopra or Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan will romance a newbie in Don 3

As soon as Shah Rukh Khan wraps up Aanand L Rai's Zero, the 52-year-old actor will begin working on Don 3. Seven years after Don 2, Shah Rukh will be back as the underworld don, and his fans can't wait. While producer Ritesh Sidhwani has a script and a hero ready, he is yet to cast a leading lady for Don 3.

Speculation was rife that Don's 'jungli billi' Priyanka Chopra would not be a part of Don 3, and Deepika Padukone's name was doing the rounds as her replacement. Producer Ritesh Sidhwani rubbished this news and told IANS, "Deepika is not part of Don." However, he kept mum on whether Priyanka would return in the third part of the franchise.

But trade analyst Ramesh Bala recently cleared the air and said that the makers will introduce a new face with Don 3.

He said that Don 3 will be extensively shot in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. And SRK will romance a newbie in the film. The film is set to go on floors in 2019.
