Actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who was recently in India, might be in talks to reprise her character as Roma Bhagat aka Junglee Billi in the next instalment of the Don franchise. A source says director Farhan Akhtar is working towards reuniting with his Dil Dhadakne Do (2015) squad, with actor Ranveer Singh announced as the male lead for the film earlier this year.
“The team of Don 3 has indeed approached Priyanka to revisit her character. The first few meetings also took place when Priyanka came to India recently for another professional commitment. She used her time in the country to align the talks and figure out her next Hindi project,” says the source.
Chopra has essayed the character previously in the film’s 2006 remake and the latter’s 2011 sequel. “Priyanka has a very close bond with Farhan, and is trying to make it work. Her return might also become a reality as Shah Rukh is no longer associated with the project,” adds the insider.
With Jee Le Zaraa facing hiccups, Akhtar is focussing all his attention on Don 3. “Since Jee Le Zaraa could not happen for Priyanka and Farhan, both teams are trying to make Don 3 work. She enjoys working with Farhan and has shown interest,” says the source. We reached out to both Chopra and Akhtar for a comment, but were met with no response by the time of going to press.
