Manoj Bajpayee Reacts to FWICE Ban on Ranveer Singh over Don 3 Exit: ‘Hope that the Matter Is Sorted Out Soon’

Excel Entertainment said it filed a complaint and seeks Rs 45 crore in damages after Ranveer Singh left the film weeks before an overseas shoot.

  • On Monday, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees banned actor Ranveer Singh for abandoning Farhan Akhtar's directorial Don 3 just three weeks before the overseas shoot was scheduled to begin.
  • Excel Entertainment producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani filed an official complaint after FWICE claimed Ranveer ignored three reminders over 30 days to present his side of the story before the enforcement action.
  • FWICE has previously enforced strict directives; last year, actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh faced a non-cooperation directive from the film body's 5 lakh members after appearing with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3.
  • Ranveer's next project, Pralay, scheduled to begin production in August this year, faces disruption from the ban; his promotion schedules may also be impacted despite his dispute over FWICE's jurisdiction.
  • FWICE bans have historically proven reversible through negotiation—singer Mika Singh's 2019 ban for performing at a Karachi wedding was revoked after he apologized, suggesting potential pathways for resolution remain available.
