The controversy surrounding Ranveer Singh’s exit from Don 3 is far from over. The Bollywood actor has now sent a legal notice to the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) against its non-cooperation directive, which was issued last month and effectively banned him from working with affiliated industry units.
What is happening in the Don 3 controversy?
The fallout between Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar over Don 3 has become one of Bollywood’s biggest controversies. According to multiple reports, Singh exited the film due to creative differences with the makers. Several sources also suggested Ranveer was unhappy with repeated production delays and the absence of a locked final script.
What started as a routine casting change has now escalated into a legal matter. Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment is reportedly demanding Rs 45 crore in compensation. FWICE issued an indefinite non-cooperation directive against Ranveer, urging all affiliated craft and producer bodies not to work with him until the dispute is resolved.
What did Ranveer Singh say after the ban?
Following the ban, Ranveer Singh’s spokesperson issued a statement saying the actor does not wish to fuel further speculation and believes such professional disagreements are best handled privately: “Throughout the recent developments surrounding Don 3, he has consciously chosen to maintain silence, believing that professional discussions and personal equations are best handled with dignity, maturity, and mutual respect.”
The spokesperson confirmed that Ranveer has now sent a legal notice to FWICE on Tuesday, but details of the notice have not been revealed. FWICE has also not issued any official statement reacting to Ranveer’s legal notice so far.
Is Ranveer Singh’s next project Pralay in danger?
The FWICE ban also put a spotlight on Ranveer’s upcoming film Pralay, a large-scale zombie thriller directed by Jai Mehta and co-starring Kalyani Priyadarshan. Fans were concerned about possible delays in the project amid the controversy. However, sources have clarified that Pralay will not face delays due to this dispute. Shooting is expected to begin in August 2026, as planned. Bombay Times sources close to the production confirmed that all preparations are moving forward and there are currently no delays linked to the Don 3 controversy.
What is Ranveer Singh’s latest film work?
Ranveer Singh was last seen in the blockbuster Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which released on March 19, 2026, and became one of the highest-grossing Indian films of the year. With Pralay on track and the Don 3 dispute now in the legal arena, Ranveer’s future projects remain unaffected for now while the industry waits to see how this high-profile row unfolds.
