Ranveer Singh banned by film body over ‘Don 3’ exit
MUMBAI, 25 MAY
The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) on Monday said its over four lakh members would not work with Ranveer Singh following his last-minute exit from Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Don 3’ which has been in production for three years.
Akhtar and his partner Ritesh Sidhwani had filed a complaint against Singh before the Indian Film & Television Directors’ Association (IFTDA), which then referred the matter to FWICE.
‘Don 3’ was yet to begin shooting. The producers claim that more than Rs 45 crore had already been spent in the pre-production phase.
“We wrote a letter to you but there was no reply so no member from FWICE will work with you,” FWICE honorary general secretary Ashok Dubey said.
Ashoke Pandit, chief advisor to FWICE said Singh withdrew from the film three weeks before shooting was scheduled to begin.
