Force 3, starring John Abraham, Harshvardhan Rane and Tanya Maniktala, has started filming, and is set to release on March 19, 2027.
Directed by Bhav Dhulia of Khakee: The Bihar Chapter and The Freelancer fame, the third instalment of the Force action-thriller franchise is now in production.
Produced by John Abraham’s JA Entertainment and Sheel Kumar’s Karolina Corporation, Force 3 will see Harshvardhan Rane, who was last spotted in Ek Deewaane ki Deewaniyat, make an entry into the franchise. While Abraham will reprise his role as ACP Yashvardhan Singh, Rane’s character is still under wraps. Meanwhile, Tanya Maniktala, best known for playing Lata in Mira Nair’s A Suitable Boy, will be seen as the film’s female lead.
Talking about producing and starring in the film, John Abraham said, “Force has always been a franchise I’ve believed in deeply. What makes it special for me is that it has a certain grit and a strong identity that audiences have connected with over the years. With Force 3, we’re taking that legacy forward in a big way.”
Harshvardhan Rane, who joins the cast in this instalment, remarked, “It’s an honour to be part of a film like Force 3, which gives me the chance to step into an intense, hardcore action space and bring that brute force alive on screen.”
Tanya Maniktala expressed her excitement about joining the franchise and working with both John and Harshvardhan. “Being part of a franchise like this is a big moment, and I’m looking forward to giving it everything I have," she said.
Bhav Dhulia added how his experience with the late Nishant Kamat on Force, and working with John during that time, makes this film special for him. "I fell in love with the script the moment I read it, and I’m truly looking forward to bringing this story to life with John, Harshvardhan and Tanya.”
Force 3 is produced by Sheel Kumar, Shahbaz Alam, John Abraham, Sandeep Leyzell and Minnakshi Das. The film is written by Simaab Hashmi and is a Ravi Basrur Musical, with lyrics by Irshad Kamil. The film is set to release theatrically on March 19, 2027.
