Mumbai, March 6: Actor Harshvardhan Rane has commenced shooting for the much-awaited action thriller Force 3, launching the film’s first schedule in Gujarat with a traditional pooja ceremony seeking divine blessings for the project.
Rane shared a video of the ritual on Instagram, marking the start of the film’s production and offering fans a glimpse of the auspicious moment before the cameras began rolling.

Action star John Abraham, who has long been associated with the Force franchise, is also set to play a prominent role in the third installment.
