The controversy between Ranveer Singh and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) began after reports surfaced that the actor had allegedly walked out of Don 3, directed by Farhan Akhtar, shortly before production was expected to begin. Following his exit, Farhan and Excel Entertainment reportedly filed a complaint with FWICE, claiming the decision caused major financial and scheduling setbacks to the film. Reports also suggest that the producers are seeking compensation worth around Rs. 40-45 crore over the alleged losses.
After reviewing the matter, FWICE issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh, effectively asking industry workers and affiliated unions not to collaborate with the actor until the dispute is resolved. FWICE members reportedly stated that last-minute exits from big-budget films negatively impact not just producers but also hundreds of technicians and workers associated with the project.
