The announcement has generated massive buzz, as the actor revealed his association with *Force 3* through a heartfelt post on social media.
### Harshvardhan Rane Joins the Force Franchise
Harshvardhan Rane is set to join the *Force* franchise, which stars John Abraham. The actor revealed that he will be taking the legacy forward, stepping into a role that follows the momentum built by John Abraham in the first two installments.
Taking to his Instagram story, Harshvardhan shared a photo of himself at the revered Trimbakeshwar Temple in Maharashtra. Dressed in a traditional dhoti and performing prayers, he accompanied the image with an exciting announcement:
“John Abraham locks Harshvardhan Rane for taking FORCE franchise forward, under him.”

### About the Force Franchise
The *Force* series is well-known for its high-octane action sequences combined with emotional depth. The franchise first hit theatres in 2011 under the direction of Nishikant Kamat. The film starred John Abraham and Genelia D’Souza and quickly became a fan favorite due to its gripping storyline and powerful action.
It was followed by *Force 2* in 2016, directed by Abhinay Deo, with Sonakshi Sinha joining John Abraham in an espionage-driven narrative that broadened the series’ universe.
Now with *Force 3*, the franchise is poised to enter a new chapter as Harshvardhan Rane takes on the mantle to carry forward its legacy. Though specific plot details remain under wraps, his inclusion has already stirred excitement and speculation about a fresh storyline and a new wave of stylized action.
