In 2011, John Abraham played ACP Yashvardhan Singh in Nishikant Kamat’s Force, which achieved success at the box office. He reprised the role in Force 2 alongside Sonakshi Sinha in 2016. Seven years later, John Abraham acquired the franchise rights from producer Vipul Shah, with the intention of rebooting the series. According to reports from Pinkvilla, he has been silently working on Force 3 for the past two years and is also preparing to start filming for it. 

As per sources close to the development, John Abraham has roped in Bhav Dhulia to direct Force 3. The source revealed, “John Abraham is rebooting the Force franchise, as he strongly believes in the character of ACP Yashvardhan Singh. He has developed a film that stays true to the ‘Desi’ elements of Force franchise and bestowed the responsibilities of direction to Bhav Dhulia.” 

It has also been reported that Bhav has contributed his unique perspective to the script and is excited about starting work on this action-film with John Abraham. The source added, “Force 3 is expected to go on floors towards the end of 2025. Apart from John, the makers are looking to cast a strong name to play the negative lead of the film. The idea is to create an action face-off between two men, much like John Abraham and Vidyut Jamwal in Force.”
