Force 3 Production Faces Fan Frenzy in Gujarat, Temporarily Halting Filming
The highly anticipated Bollywood action-thriller 'Force 3' has officially commenced production in Gujarat, but the excitement has spilled over into real-life drama. Just days into the first schedule, lead actors Harshvardhan Rane and franchise veteran John Abraham found themselves surrounded by an overwhelming crowd of eager fans, causing a temporary shutdown of filming activities.
Chaos Erupts as Fans Crash Crucial Scene
Excitement reached a boiling point on the set when enthusiastic fans breached security to crash a pivotal scene, throwing the entire crew into disarray. Harshvardhan Rane, known for his role in 'Sanam Teri Kasam', captured the chaotic moment in a video shared on his Instagram stories. In the footage, Rane is seen gently pleading with the crowd, hands pressed together in a respectful gesture, urging them to quiet down. The fans promptly heeded his request, allowing production to resume without further obstacles.
Accompanying the video, Rane wrote, "FORCE3 Shoot Gujarat. Apologies to the sound department, direction team and the local production team… and to minnakshidas simaabrahmi." This public apology highlights the disruption caused to key departments essential for smooth filming operations.
Pooja Ceremony Marks the Beginning of Gujarat Schedule
Earlier this month, Harshvardhan Rane kicked off the Gujarat schedule with a traditional pooja ceremony, invoking divine blessings for the project's success. He shared this spiritual moment with his Instagram followers by posting a video of himself conducting the rituals. In the caption, he expressed, "May the FORCE 3 with us. Dir by bhav.dhulia. Written by simaabhashmi 1st schedule in Gujrat." Rane was dressed casually in a grey long-sleeved t-shirt and blue jeans, complete with sunglasses, reflecting a relaxed pre-filming atmosphere.
Cast, Crew, and Release Details of Force 3
'Force 3' is an upcoming Bollywood action-thriller produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and directed by Bhav Dhulia, currently shooting in Gujarat as of March 2026. The film marks the return of John Abraham as ACP Yashvardhan, joined by Harshvardhan Rane and Tanya Maniktala in key roles. Scheduled for a 2027 release, this installment is the third in the popular 'Force' franchise, following 'Force' (2011) and 'Force 2' (2016).
