After Ranveer Singh Gets Banned by Film Body, Actor`s Spokesperson Responds
FWICE said the actor’s exit could leave producers with about Rs. 45 crores in pre-production costs and disrupt the film’s execution.
- The Federation of Western India Cine Employees issued a Non-Cooperation Directive against actor Ranveer Singh over his alleged last-minute withdrawal from filmmaker Farhan Akhtar's upcoming film Don 3.
- Director Akhtar filed the complaint on April 11, 2026, stating he had committed his professional schedule for the project's magnitude and scale; makers disclosed they had invested approximately Rs. 45 crores in pre-production.
- Singh maintained that FWICE would "not be the appropriate forum" for grievances, stating issues were contractual; despite multiple reminders, he declined to appear before the federation to present his version.
- FWICE characterized the withdrawal as "unacceptable and against long-standing professional norms," emphasizing the film industry functions as "one extended family" connected through mutual trust and professional commitments.
- The directive underscores broader industry concerns about senior actors abandoning projects at critical stages, with FWICE warning such exits pose serious threats to entertainment sector stability and working ecology.
