FWICE Reverses Ranveer Singh Non-Cooperation Order
As the Don 3 controversy involving Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar continues to dominate headlines, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has now announced that it is withdrawing its non-cooperative directive issued against Ranveer Singh. The ban was issued last month, on May 25, over his exit from Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3.
On Wednesday, the FWICE announced that they have “withdrawn” their decision after the “intervention” of the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA).
The Don 3 Controversy: Ranveer vs. Excel Entertainment
The film body has called for a “constructive and amicable resolution” in the ongoing issues between Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment over ‘Don 3’.
“Over the course of subsequent discussions and deliberations, and after taking into consideration the intervention and appeal made by lndian Motion Picture Producers’Association (IMPPA) (respected producer body), it was collectively felt that the matter should now move towards a constructive and amicable resolution in the larger interest of maintaining harmony and unity within the entertainment industry,” read a part of the press statement of FWICE.
IMPPA’s Role in Amicable Industry Resolution
Reports of a dispute between Ranveer, Farhan and Ritesh Sidhwani of Excel Entertainment surfaced in December 2025 when the actor is said to have walked out of the film abruptly after the success of his Dhurandhar with filmmaker Aditya Dhar . Last month, Farhan approached the FWICE, claiming Ranveer’s exit from the film had caused him monetary losses amounting to ₹ 45 crore.
Hindustan Times learnt that Ranveer sent a legal notice to the film workers’ body on Tuesday after it issued a non-cooperation directive against him last week. So far, it is unclear what Ranveer has sought in the notice, but FWICE will be required to respond to it in court.
The swift resolution, facilitated by IMPPA, highlights the industry’s commitment to internal harmony. While the ‘Don 3’ dispute brought significant attention, its quick de-escalation sets a precedent for future conflicts, ensuring unity within Bollywood.
