Mumbai, April 15 Actor-producer John Abraham, Harshvardhan Rane and Tanya Maniktala are deep into the shoot for the first schedule of the third installment of “Force”, which is locked for a March 19, 2027, release.

Talking about producing and starring in Force 3, John said in a statement: “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. I’m also really excited to introduce Harsh as an action hero. He has the presence, the energy and the hunger for it, and I think audiences are going to enjoy watching him in this space,” he added.

Force 3 is directed by Bhav Dhulia of Khakee: The Bihar Chapter and The Freelancer fame, the third instalment of the successful action-thriller franchise promises to pack a punch.

Produced by John Abraham’s JA Entertainment and Sheel Kumar’s Karolina Corporation, Force 3 will see Harshvardhan make an entry into the franchise. While John will reprise his role as ACP Yashvardhan Singh, Rane’s character is still under wraps.

Meanwhile, Tanya will be seen as the film’s female lead.

Harshvardhan called it an honour to be part of a film like Force 3.

He said that the film gives him the chance to step into an intense, hardcore action space and bring that brute force alive on screen.

“John sir is truly cut from a different cloth and has carved his own path in the Indian film industry. To be part of Bhav Dhulia’s grand cinematic vision, alongside John sir, is something I feel genuinely privileged about,” he concluded

Tanya is thrilled to be a part of Force 3.

“It’s exciting to share screen space with two actors who bring both charm and such strong presence to the screen. What makes this even more special for me is the role I get to play in the story. Being part of a franchise like this is a big moment, and I’m looking forward to giving it everything I have.”

Bhav Dhulia added: “Having assisted the late Nishikant Kamat on Force and worked with John during that time, this film feels like coming home in many ways. There is history here, there is emotion here, and that makes Force 3 even more special for me.”

The director says he 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.”

Producer Sheel Kumar added: “My relationship with John and JA Entertainment goes back many years. Coming together for Force 3 feels both familiar and deeply special. I’ve believed in the Force franchise from the very beginning, and Force 3 is a film that comes from a place of trust, comfort and a shared conviction in the story that we want to tell.”

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. Force 3 is all set release theatrically on March 19, 2027
