In a significant development in the ongoing ‘Don 3’ controversy, the Film Workers Federation of India (FWICE) has withdrawn its non-cooperation directive against Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh. The decision comes shortly after the actor issued a legal notice challenging the federation’s earlier stance.
FWICE had initially called for non-cooperation with Ranveer Singh amid concerns linked to the casting and production process of the much-anticipated film ‘Don 3’. The directive had raised tensions within the industry, with several stakeholders closely monitoring the situation.
However, sources indicate that the actor’s legal response prompted FWICE to reconsider its position. Following internal discussions and consultations, the federation decided to revoke the directive, effectively clearing the path for normal professional engagement with the actor.
Ranveer Singh, who is set to headline ‘Don 3’, had reportedly expressed strong objections to the federation’s move, calling it unjustified and damaging to his professional commitments. His legal notice emphasized the need for fair treatment and due process.
The resolution is expected to bring relief to the film’s production team and associated workers, as uncertainty surrounding the project had begun to affect schedules and coordination.
While FWICE has not publicly disclosed detailed reasons behind its reversal, industry insiders suggest that efforts were made on both sides to de-escalate the situation and avoid further disruption.
With the dispute now resolved, focus is likely to shift back to the production of ‘Don 3’, which remains one of the most awaited films in the Bollywood pipeline.
