A single behind the scenes frame can sometimes do what official announcements do not, ignite instant buzz and set fan theories racing. That is exactly what has happened with Force 3, after a leaked set image began doing the rounds online, putting John Abraham back in the zone as ACP Yashvardhan Singh and teasing a new team dynamic that looks far more grounded than glossy.
The viral photo, seemingly snapped during a creative discussion, shows Abraham in conversation with director Bhav Dhulia, with Harshvardhan Rane and Tanya Maniktala also present, signaling that the film’s core cast is now locked in and the third instalment is moving from talk to tangible action.
The Leaked Huddle, And What It Confirms
Box Office Worldwide has exclusively learned that Force 3 is set to go on floors in March 2026. The leaked image places Bhav Dhulia at the centre of proceedings, strengthening the idea that the franchise is leaning into a grittier, more realistic tone. Dhulia’s past work, including Khakee: The Bihar Chapter, has been noted for its raw texture and hard edged staging, qualities that could suit Force’s old school, bruising action identity.
The same image also underlines the film’s most exciting casting update, Harshvardhan Rane and Tanya Maniktala joining Abraham for the new chapter. While plot details remain tightly guarded, the visible “huddle” energy hints at a story built on strategy, stakes, and a larger operational world, rather than just standalone stunt set pieces.
The Force franchise began with the 2011 film Force, where Abraham introduced ACP Yashvardhan, followed by Force 2 in 2016. With Force 3, Abraham is returning to a role that has remained one of his most bankable action identities.
John Abraham’s Recent And Upcoming Work
In the last few years, Abraham has stayed active across genres. He led the action film Attack: Part 1 (2022) and then starred in Ek Villain Returns (2022). In 2023, he played Jim in Pathaan, a blockbuster that became one of the biggest Hindi hits of the decade. More recently, he was seen in Vedaa (2024), and The Diplomat (2025), which collected Rs. 40.30 crore in India as per Bollywood Hungama’s box office listing. Another confirmed title in his pipeline is Tehran (2025). With Force 3 now preparing to roll, Abraham’s action slate is clearly sharpening again, anchored by a character audiences already associate with his signature intensity.
