Cast Insights
Harshvardhan Rane shared his thoughts on joining the cast, stating, “It’s an honour to be part of a film like Force 3, which gives me the chance to step into an intense, hardcore action space and bring that brute force alive on screen.

To be part of Bhav Dhulia’s grand cinematic vision, alongside John sir, is something I feel genuinely privileged about.”
