Priyanka Chopra Jonas is one of the rare actors to have carved a successful career in both Bollywood and Hollywood. While the Citadel star has primarily focused on her international projects in recent years, fans have been eagerly awaiting her return to the Indian film industry. After reports linked her to an ambitious collaboration with SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu, new rumours suggest that Priyanka may revisit a beloved role close to her heart—Roma, aka Junglee Billi, in Don 3.
Priyanka first stepped into the iconic role of Roma in Farhan Akhtar’s Don (2006), opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Her compelling portrayal of the fiery, complex character, combined with sizzling on-screen chemistry with SRK, made Roma a fan favourite. Priyanka reprised her role in Don 2 (2011), further cementing her legacy in the franchise. However, after Shah Rukh Khan exited the series and Ranveer Singh was cast as the new Don, Kiara Advani was announced as the female lead for Don 3.
With recent speculation about Priyanka’s potential return to the franchise, fans have taken to social media to express their excitement and share their thoughts. Under a Reddit thread, one user wrote, “No one among the current actresses can play Roma as good as Priyanka. Farhan, please bring her back as Roma. Her chemistry with Ranveer would be great too.” Another fan commented, “Kiara is quite a vanilla actress… like most actresses today. No one can match Priyanka’s jalwa.” Echoing similar sentiments, another user opined, “I don’t think Kiara has any considerable box office pull. They should have cast PC only. Always thought Kiara was too vanilla for Roma.”
Interestingly, some fans are still holding out hope for Shah Rukh Khan’s return, with one remarking, “Imagine if they brought both PC & SRK back… fireworks galore!”
While there’s no official confirmation from the Don 3 team yet, the possibility of Priyanka’s return has already stirred immense excitement. If these rumours prove true, it would mark a monumental Bollywood comeback for Priyanka and a thrilling development for fans of the Don franchise.
Will Priyanka once again become the unforgettable Junglee Billi? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—fans are already counting down the days.
