Don and
Don 2, featured Priyanka Chopra as the lead actress. Ramesh Bala also reported that
Don 3 would be 'extensively shot in Dubai and Abu Dhabi' and is expected 'to go on floors sometime in 2019'. Mr Bala also shared the first look poster of the film (featuring SRK) on Twitter and wrote, "Shah rukh Khan's
Don 3 will be shot extensively in #Dubai and #Abudhabi. The movie is expected to go on the floors sometime in 2019. A new actress will play the leading lady role." Shah Rukh Khan's first film of the
