FWICE Directive: CINTAA Cries Foul
4 Jun
Summary
- CINTAA President Poonam Dhillon questioned FWICE's unilateral directive.
- CINTAA claims they were not consulted on the Ranveer Singh directive.
- FWICE withdrew the directive after intervention by IMPPA.
CINE and TV Artistes' Association (CINTAA) President Poonam Dhillon expressed significant surprise regarding the Federation of Western India Cine Employees' (FWICE) recently withdrawn non-cooperation directive against actor Ranveer Singh. Dhillon stated that CINTAA, an affiliate body of FWICE, was not consulted on the matter, highlighting that major decisions should involve all concerned parties. She also questioned actor Upasana Singh's involvement.
Dhillon welcomed FWICE's decision to retract the directive, noting that such actions could have far-reaching consequences for lightmen, technicians, and various other professionals whose livelihoods depend on film shoots. CINTAA has formally communicated its objections to FWICE, seeking clarification and denying any official appeal for withdrawal.
FWICE announced on Wednesday, June 4, 2026, that it had withdrawn the non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh after intervention from the Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association (IMPPA). The federation now seeks a constructive and amicable resolution regarding issues with Singh and Excel Entertainment's 'Don 3', prioritizing industry harmony.
