Ranveer Singh Don 3 exit news
Ranveer Singh is hitting the headlines yet again, but this time, it is rather controversial. After his sudden exit from Don 3, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) decided to take strict action against him in the form of a non-cooperative motion.
The film institution has now clarified that the action taken against the actor is not a "ban", but a temporary non-cooperative movement.
Filmmaker Ashoke Pandit explained in an interview, "See, first of all, the entire conversation has become wrong. It`s not a ban. See, we are not the court; we can`t ban people. So we have issued a non-cooperation. Non-cooperation means all our members who belong to 30 crafts, you know, will not work with him. It`s my choice whether I want to work with him or not."
"So we, as a trade union, have issued this thing to our members that, wherever he is, you will not work till the time. This issue is not sorted out. Because we very strongly feel that this is a very wrong trend that will start," he added.
What does FWICE want?
Pandit also stressed that the organisation intends to put both parties, Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar, towards a resolution to avoid such conflicts in the future.

Speaking from the producers` point of view, he said, "Producers will be doomed in the last moment if directors leave and if actors leave and, you know, for that matter, if anybody leaves. This will be a big loss, and then ultimately, not everybody is Excel Entertainment that they can afford to lose crores. They will commit suicide."
Ashoke also added, "So we tried to, you know, bring in a little bit of, you know, this thing so at least we can sit together and sort this out, and hopefully it will." I`m sure... we are still hopeful that it will happen. But the point is, for that, we have to meet, you know."
According to Ashoke Pandit, FWICE had approached the Dhurandhar actor for discussions thrice, but he did not attend.
He said, "So we very strongly tried our best. We sent him invitations thrice. There was no response, and then finally he sent mail when he came to know that we are having a press conference, saying that this doesn`t come under a jurisdiction."
The filmmaker shared, "So with that said, fine, if you feel so strongly. Toh theek hai. Koi baat nahi." (Alright then. No problem; it doesn`t matter. So that is a basic thing; we will wait. We`ll sit with the producer body. Will sit with different associations, and we`ll see how things happen."
Due to Ranveer Singh`s untimely exit from Don 3, Excel Entertainment, led by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, has said to suffer a loss of 45 crore.
