Priyanka Chopra Teases Return to Don 3 & Krrish 4

New Delhi, February 4, 2026: Global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas is making headlines as she prepares for her grand return to Indian cinema. While her upcoming collaboration with SS Rajamouli, titled Varanasi, has already set expectations sky-high, it is her recent comments regarding two of her most iconic franchises—Don 3 and Krrish 4—that have sent fans into a frenzy.

After a hiatus of nearly six years from the Indian film industry, the “Desi Girl” has finally addressed the burning questions about reprising her roles as Roma and Priya Mehra.

The “Tight-Lipped” Tease: Priyanka on Don 3 and Krrish 4

During a recent promotional interaction for her film Varanasi, alongside co-star Mahesh Babu, Priyanka was asked about the potential of returning to the worlds of Don and Krrish. True to her poised nature, she didn’t give away too much, but her playful ambiguity was enough to spark massive speculation.

“I don’t know if I can talk about either of them at all,” Priyanka remarked with a smile, before adding, “Exciting, exciting times ahead.”

Her co-star Mahesh Babu added fuel to the fire, jokingly prodding that her silence suggested “something is definitely happening.” While she hasn’t officially confirmed her signing, she expressed a deep openness to revisiting characters that hold strong storytelling potential.

Why This Matters for the Franchises:

• Don 3: The third installment has seen significant changes, with Farhan Akhtar announcing a reboot. While earlier reports suggested a fresh start with Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani, the industry remains buzzy about how the original “Jungli Billi” might fit into the new narrative.
• Krrish 4: This project is particularly special as it reportedly marks Hrithik Roshan’s directorial debut. Priyanka’s reaction to this news has been purely “ecstatic,” and fans have noted her active social media engagement regarding the film’s development, leading many to believe she will return as the emotional anchor of the superhero saga.

The Homecoming: Varanasi and Beyond

While Don 3 and Krrish 4 remain in the “guarded secret” phase, Priyanka is fully immersed in her immediate comeback with Varanasi. She revealed that she had one specific condition for director SS Rajamouli before signing the project: she wanted to dance.

“I haven’t done an Indian film in six years, and I haven’t danced in any of my Hollywood productions. I told Rajamouli sir, ‘Please make me dance,'” she shared. The actress admitted that the director took her request very seriously, resulting in an intense and sensational dance number that she says left both her and Mahesh Babu exhausted but thrilled.

A New Approach to Global Stardom

Priyanka also touched upon how her time in Hollywood has shaped her. She explained that she now views her career through two different lenses, “pivoting her brain” depending on whether she is on a Western or Indian film set. She emphasized that she doesn’t try to bring Hollywood lessons to India or vice-versa; instead, she focuses on the specific vision of the director she is working with.

As the release of Varanasi approaches this April, the anticipation for Priyanka Chopra’s second innings in Bollywood is at an all-time high. Whether she returns as the fierce Roma or the beloved Priya, one thing is certain: the global icon is ready to reclaim her throne in Mumbai.
