Sobhita Dhulipala Wants To Star In Don 3: Whether it is her most recent show 'Made in Heaven' or her involvement in the 'Ponniyin Selvan' movies, actress Sobhita Dhulipala emphasises her commitment to seizing the opportunities that have come her way. Dhulipala, who entered the film industry with Anurag Kashyap's 'Raman Raghav 2.0' in 2016, recently returned to her breakthrough role as the wedding planner Tara in the second season of the Prime Video series ‘Made in Heaven.’
"I didn't think that I will do whatever comes my way just because I want to be visible or I just want to have work. Having said that, my choices were driven by the opportunities that I have. I could make choices from the opportunities that were accessible to me.

"If I sit back and say that I want to do a certain kind of a film… Like, I would love to do a Karan Johar or Farah Khan film. If that opportunity has not naturally happened at that time, I’ll have to figure out what I can do from the opportunities that I can find and choose from and give my 100 per cent,” the 31-year-old actor told PTI.
In her most recent film role, Dhulipala portrayed the character Vaanathi alongside Jayam Ravi in "Ponniyin Selvan I and II," which were directed by Mani Ratnam. The actress expresses her gratitude toward "gifted directors" such as Ratnam and Zoya Akhtar for offering her unique roles in the "Ponniyin Selvan" films and "Made in Heaven," respectively.
"I would wonder why Zoya Akhtar, who is commercially successful, would offer me the lead in a show but she took a chance. Mani sir also took a chance by giving me the role in 'Ponniyin Selvan.' She (Vaanathi) is very different from Tara and I've shot them side-by-side. These talented directors have taken that chance and I hope that streaks continue because I want to do amazing work," she added. The former Miss India Earth also conveyed her desire to be a part of 'Don 3,' a film in which Ranveer Singh portrays the iconic character.
In the revamped rendition of the 1978 film of the same name, originally starring Amitabh Bachchan and Zeenat Aman, Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas took on the lead roles of Don and Roma in the two sequels, released in 2006 and 2011. When asked about 'Don 3,' Dhulipala expressed her eagerness to audition for the upcoming film, which is set to be directed by Farhan Akhtar.
"I would be thrilled to (be part of 'Don 3'). After 'Made in Heaven 2' came out, there were so many people who were like, 'Tara is feisty' and 'Tara's energy is like Roma's vibe.' So, that comparison was flattering, I love the films. Priyanka was amazing as Roma. Just the prospect that people thought this was a well-suited thing was amazing. I would love to audition for it ('Don 3')," she added.
