FWICE Non‑Cooperation Directive Against Ranveer Singh Deepens Don 3 Dispute

The May 25 directive has prompted high‑profile mediation, exposed a split in industry opinion over union authority, leaving the financial and practical fallout unresolved.

Overview

  • The Federation of Western India Cine Employees issued a non‑cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh on May 25 after producers of Don 3 complained he skipped federation hearings about his exit.
  • Producers from Excel Entertainment have presented roughly Rs 40–45 crore in claimed pre‑production losses and rejected a reported private settlement offer from Ranveer’s camp worth about Rs 35 crore.
  • Ranveer has not publicly engaged with the federation and is speaking only through a spokesperson who says he will remain silent out of respect for the film fraternity.
  • Salman Khan has phoned both sides to seek an amicable resolution, while CINTAA leaders have publicly backed Ranveer and several filmmakers and analysts have criticised FWICE’s move as overreach.
  • The directive bars FWICE‑affiliated technicians from working with Ranveer but carries no legal ban, so practical enforcement, reputational risk for projects, and a final settlement remain unresolved.
