Diwali blockbuster Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is still on a high with a collection of ₹42 crore, Harshvardhan Rane made a splash on Wednesday: He is the new face of Force 3, roped in by “Firshta” John Abraham.

From the sacred stairs of Trimbakeshwar, the actor shared a selfie bathed in sunlight: “John sir has chosen me to lead the force. Shooting in March 2026. No spoilers till the clap of the first day!”

JA Entertainment’s slate confirms: Force 3 will go on floors on March 3, 2026—with 60 days of non-stop shooting across Mumbai studios, Pune Cantonment and the beaches of Goa. Budget: ₹180 crore, 40% more than Force 2. John returns as ACP Yashvardhan; Harshvardhan plays the role of rogue RAW agent “Veer”—first look test scheduled for December 15.
