South Indian cinema sensation Meenaakshi Chaudhary is set to make her highly anticipated Bollywood debut in Force 3, the third installment of the high-octane action thriller franchise headlined by John Abraham.
Pinkvilla has quoted sources saying that Meenakshi Chaudhary, known for her performances in GOAT, Guntur Kaaram, HIT 2, Lucky Baskhar, and Sankranthi Vasthunam, will be making her Bollywood debut with Force 3. “After auditioning several actresses, John Abraham and Bhav Dhulia have locked Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead. Like John, she too will have an action-oriented role and is expected to undergo intensive training over the next few months to prepare for the part,” a source revealed.
“Pre-production is progressing rapidly. John will shift his focus to Force 3 as soon as he wraps up shooting for the Rakesh Maria biopic directed by Rohit Shetty. That project is expected to conclude by the end of October, setting Force 3 up for a release in the first half of 2026,” the source added.
The film, directed by Bhav Dhulia, promises to be a gritty continuation of the Force series, which originally began in 2011 with John Abraham playing the role of ACP Yashvardhan Singh—a no-nonsense cop with a dark past and a fierce commitment to justice. The second installment, Force 2, hit the screens in 2016 and was a commercial success, praised for its intense action and patriotic narrative.
Now, nearly a decade later, Force 3 is gearing up to bring the franchise back to life, with Meenaakshi stepping into the spotlight as the female lead.
