Ranveer Singh Quits Don 3, Sparks Industry Row
4 Jun
Summary
- Singh reportedly quit Don 3 weeks before filming, causing significant financial loss.
- Film union supports Singh, promising legal response to producer's notice.
- This action follows past directives against artists in similar disputes.
The future of Farhan Akhtar's highly anticipated Don 3 has been cast into uncertainty following reports of lead actor Ranveer Singh's abrupt departure. Singh allegedly withdrew from the project mere weeks before the commencement of overseas shooting, a move that has reportedly resulted in substantial financial repercussions for the producers, who had already invested approximately 450 million rupees in pre-production.
In response to the situation, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has publicly backed Ranveer Singh. The federation's president stated that the industry stands with the actor and that their legal team is prepared to address any notices received. However, FWICE clarified that they do not possess the authority to impose bans on industry professionals, expressing optimism for an amicable resolution to the dispute.
This incident is not the first time FWICE has intervened in industry disputes, having previously issued directives against artists in sensitive situations. In 2025, a similar directive was issued concerning actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh. Ranveer Singh himself has faced controversy before, notably apologizing in 2025 for mimicking a sacred ritual from the film Kantara, an act perceived by some as disrespectful.
