In a shocking development, Dhurandhar actor Ranveer Singh has been banned by the Federation of Western Cine Employees (FWICE) amid his dispute over Don 3 with Farhan Akhtar. FWICE announced their decision on Monday, May 25 and issued a non-cooperation directive against Singh, effectively banning him. The federation has also instructed the industry not to work with him following his abrupt exit from Akhtar’s film.
The ongoing controversy around Don 3 had taken a serious turn, following which the FWICE stepped in.
The feud involved Ranveer Singh, director Farhan Akhtar, and producer Ritesh Sidhwani. The filmmakers approached the board after Ranveer abruptly exited Don 3, prompting the federation to intervene.
The dispute started in December 2025 when Ranveer Singh unexpectedly walked out of Don 3, despite being officially attached to the movie for nearly two years. Reports indicate that he chose to leave the project due to script changes.
However, Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani stated that Excel Entertainment had already spent a substantial amount of money on the pre-production of Don 3, counting on Ranveer’s commitment. After the sudden exit, the production house reportedly sought a compensation of Rs 40 crore from the actor.
Prior to this, the matter was taken up by the Producers Guild of India, where senior producers reportedly tried to mediate.
On the acting front, Ranveer Singh was last seen in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge.
