The controversy intensified after the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh following complaints from the producers of Don 3. The development has sparked widespread debate in Bollywood, with industry insiders closely watching the situation. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) reportedly took action after Don 3 producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani filed a complaint alleging significant financial losses caused by Ranveer Singh’s abrupt withdrawal from the film.

According to reports, the producers claimed losses amounting to nearly ₹45 crore after extensive pre-production work had already been completed. FWICE Chief Advisor Ashok Pandit later revealed that Ranveer Singh allegedly exited the project just three weeks before shooting was scheduled to begin. By that stage, major arrangements for the film had already been finalized, including, shooting locations, hotel bookings, production logistics, and filming permissions and permits.

As a result, FWICE reportedly issued a non-cooperation notice against the actor, which could impact his professional collaborations with members associated with the Federation, including technicians, crew members, choreographers, and other film workers. Amid the growing tension, reports suggest that Salman Khan personally intervened to mediate between Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar.
