The high-octane world of ACP Yashvardhan Singh is back as the third installment of the 'Force' franchise officially went on floors today.
Headlined by John Abraham, the gritty action saga marks a new chapter with the inclusion of Harshvardhan Rane and Tanya Maniktala in lead roles. Directed by Bhav Dhulia, Force 3 aims to elevate the franchise's legacy of raw, realistic action and intense storytelling.
Produced by JA Entertainment in collaboration with Karolina Corporation, the film is currently in its first shooting schedule. John Abraham, who reprises his iconic role, expressed his excitement about mentoring Rane as a new action hero. 'Harsh has the presence, energy, and hunger for this space,' Abraham noted in a press statement, adding that the film will carry the 'grit and strong identity' that fans have loved since the first film released over a decade ago.
For Harshvardhan Rane, joining the franchise comes on the heels of two consecutive box-office hits. Rane described the opportunity to work alongside John Abraham as a 'privilege,' noting that he is eager to bring 'brute force' alive on screen under Bhav Dhulia's vision. Tanya Maniktala, stepping in as the female lead, shared her enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the strength of her character in the script.
Director Bhav Dhulia shares a deep emotional connection with the franchise, having previously assisted the late Nishikant Kamat on the original Force. 'This film feels like coming home,' Dhulia remarked, emphasizing that the script for the third part captured him immediately.
Force 3 boasts a powerhouse creative team:
The film is produced by a joint team including Sheel Kumar, Shahbaz Alam, John Abraham, Sandeep Leyzell, and Minnakshi Das. With production now in full swing, fans have a long but promising wait ahead, as the film is slated for a grand theatrical release on March 19, 2027.
