The FWICE non‑cooperation order against Ranveer Singh continues to grab the limelight. Any project that needs Mumbai-based federation workers. Based on recent reports of Ranveer Kapoor’s upcoming projects, these are the main films likely to be affected.
Why are Ranveer Singh’s films at risk?
FWICE has asked its 4 lakh+ members across 38 crafts not to work on projects involving Ranveer Singh until his dispute over Don 3 is resolved. That means any movie still to be shot, or needing dubbing/patchwork with him in India, could hit a roadblock.
What films could be in trouble?
Don 3, an action thriller, Farhan Akhtar’s reboot; Ranveer was cast as the new Don. This is the root of the dispute; he has reportedly walked out, and FWICE’s action itself is linked to this film. Any attempt to bring Ranveer back, reshoot, or renegotiate becomes extremely difficult while the ban is active. Many may not know, India shoots with FWICE crews, even if overseas work can continue.
However, Pralay, a big zombie‑apocalypse action drama where Ranveer plays the lead, is likely to be halted. If media reports are to be believed, SRK‑led film KING, Ranveer Singh is reportedly doing a pivotal cameo. Reports suggest he has a significant special appearance. Any remaining shoot days or reshoots with him on Indian floors under FWICE jurisdiction could be halted.
How could the ban affect these films?
Schedules may be pushed or re‑worked, especially for large sets built in Mumbai and surrounding studios. Producers might try shifting work overseas or using non‑FWICE crews, but that would raise costs and logistical risks for Ranveer Singh’s upcoming projects. If the dispute is not settled, some projects could recast, rewrite, or quietly stall rather than fight the directive.
When could things change?
There is no fixed timeline; the directive will remain in effect until Ranveer and the producers settle the Don 3 dispute and FWICE officially withdraws the order. If talks happen quickly, the impact on his 2026–27 slate may be limited; if not, every Indian‑shot film with him in it will have to rethink how and when to proceed.
