Harshvardhan Rane, who is currently basking in the success of his recent action romance *Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat*, has officially joined the cast of one of Bollywood’s most popular action franchises, *Force*. The announcement has generated massive buzz, as the actor revealed his association with *Force 3* through a heartfelt post on social media.
Harshvardhan Rane joins the John Abraham-starrer *Force* franchise; the actor reveals he will take the legacy forward.
Taking to his Instagram story, Harshvardhan shared a photo of himself at the revered Trimbakeshwar Temple in Maharashtra, dressed in a traditional dhoti and performing prayers. Alongside the image, the actor made the exciting revelation, writing, “John Abraham locks Harshvardhan Rane for taking *FORCE* franchise forward, under him.”
Expressing his gratitude towards John Abraham, who headlined the first two installments, Harshvardhan added, “All I can do at this moment is thank this angel of a man called John Sir, while I look upwards and thank whoever is doing this from up there. Can’t wait to begin shoot in March 2026. (No other details till I begin the shoot.)”
The *Force* franchise, known for its high-octane action and emotional depth, first hit theatres in 2011 under the direction of Nishikant Kamat. The film, starring John Abraham and Genelia D’Souza, became a fan favourite for its gripping storyline and powerful action sequences.
It was followed by *Force 2* in 2016, directed by Abhinay Deo, with Sonakshi Sinha joining John Abraham in an espionage-driven narrative that expanded the series’ universe.
With *Force 3*, the franchise now enters a new chapter as Harshvardhan Rane steps in to carry forward its legacy. While plot details remain under wraps, the actor’s inclusion has already sparked speculation about a fresh storyline and a new wave of stylized action.
Harshvardhan, who rose to renewed fame earlier this year following the re-release of his romantic drama *Sanam Teri Kasam*, has been on a strong career trajectory. His recent hit *Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat* continues to perform well at the box office, and he also has *Silaa*, a fantasy romance action drama co-starring Sadia Khateeb and Karan Veer Mehra, in the pipeline.
With *Force 3* expected to begin filming in March 2026, fans can look forward to seeing Harshvardhan Rane bring his signature intensity to one of Bollywood’s most adrenaline-fueled franchises.
