New Delhi, March 6 Actor Harshvardhan Rane shared a video on his social media on Friday as he began filming the first schedule of his upcoming film "Force 3" in Gujarat.
Written by Simaab Hashmi, the film is directed by Bhav Dhulia, known for "Khakee: The Bihar Chapter".
Rane posted a message on his Instagram account from the film's pre-production ceremony. "Let's #FORCE 3 together. Directed by @bhav.dhulia. Written by @simaabhashmi. 1st schedule in #Gujarat," he wrote in the caption.
The "Force" franchise, which began in 2011, features John Abraham in the lead role. Directed by Nishikant Kamat, it also stars Genelia D'Souza alongside the actor and is a remake of the 2003 Tamil film "Kaakha Kaakha".
