Overview
- The Federation of Western India Cine Employees revoked its non‑cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh on Wednesday, ending a temporary trade‑body restriction that had told affiliated technicians not to work with him.
- Ranveer’s team had sent a legal notice challenging FWICE’s authority in the dispute on June 2, a step that preceded the federation’s decision to withdraw the directive after requests from other industry bodies.
- Producers led by Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment have told industry forums they incurred about Rs 45 crore in pre‑production costs after the reported exit from Don 3, and they have filed formal complaints with the Producers Guild and Panorama Studios.
- Excel and other producers say they cleared pending payments to crew to protect livelihoods, while voices inside the industry, including actor Ranvir Shorey, raised counterarguments about producers sometimes cancelling projects without compensation.
- The Producers Guild of India has convened fresh mediation between Ranveer and the Don 3 makers to seek an amicable settlement, but sources say the parties could pursue formal legal action if talks do not resolve the financial and contractual issues.
