Ranveer Singh vs Farhan Akhtar | FWICE Clarifies: Ranveer Singh Not ‘Banned’, But Action Taken

Actor Ranveer Singh is facing mounting industry heat after the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) issued a non-cooperation directive against him following his reported exit from Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3. While several reports described the move as a “ban”, FWICE Chief Advisor Ashoke Pandit clarified that the organisation does not have the authority to ban anyone, insisting the action was disciplinary in nature. The controversy has triggered strong reactions within the film fraternity, with actor Manoj Bajpayee saying industry members are still trying to understand the full details of the matter and hoping for an amicable resolution. FWICE officials meanwhile claimed they had repeatedly attempted to contact Ranveer Singh over the past month, sending multiple letters and urging him to meet producers to resolve concerns linked to the high-profile project. The row has now intensified debate over professionalism, accountability and industry relationships in Bollywood.
