Actor Ranveer Singh has finally issued an official statement following the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) imposing a non-cooperation directive against him. The development stems from the ongoing controversy surrounding Don 3, after the actor abruptly walked out of Farhan Akhtar's much-awaited film. During a press conference on Monday, FWICE officially announced its decision to ban Ranveer from collaborating with any of its members until the matter is resolved. The federation has also thrown its weight behind the producers' demand for Rs 45 crore as reimbursement for alleged pre-production losses.
In response to the escalating situation, Ranveer's spokesperson stated that the actor had consciously chosen to remain silent on the issue so far. The statement comes amid growing industry tension, with many viewing FWICE's strong action as a significant escalation. The Don 3 row has been making headlines for weeks, with both sides standing firm on their positions. This latest development has now put the spotlight back on Ranveer Singh, who has otherwise maintained a dignified silence throughout the entire episode.
