The controversy surrounding Don 3 continues to accentuate, with actor Ranveer Singh now receiving public support from Cine and TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA) Vice-President Padmini Kolhapure amid the continued dispute involving Excel Entertainment and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE).
Padmini Kolhapure says CINTAA stands with Ranveer Singh amid FWICE non-cooperation directive over Don 3 dispute
The problem erupted after reports claimed that Ranveer Singh had exited Don 3 unexpectedly, resulting in allegations of monetary losses for the production house. Excel Entertainment, headed by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, reportedly alleged that the actor’s withdrawal from the project caused losses amounting to just about Rs 45 crores as a consequence of extensive pre-production work, location scouting, and development expenses already incurred.
The production banner can also be believed to have maintained that Ranveer had signed a three-film agreement and had actively participated in script discussions and the film’s official announcement campaign before deciding to step away from the project.
Because the disagreement escalated, FWICE issued multiple notices to Ranveer Singh, asking him to look before the federation and explain his position. Nonetheless, Ranveer’s legal representatives reportedly responded by stating that the federation didn’t possess jurisdiction over an independent business agreement between an actor and a production company.
Following this, FWICE issued a non-cooperation directive against the actor, instructing its members across various departments of the film industry to not collaborate on Ranveer Singh’s future projects or business advertisements until the difficulty is resolved.
Now, chatting with IANS, actress and CINTAA Vice-President Padmini Kolhapure has openly expressed support for the actor. “CINTAA is proud to have Ranveer Singh as our member. We stand by him and for him at any time when he needs us. That is already out in the general public domain, so I don’t need to comment more about it. We’re here for him, with him. If he ever needs us, we’re for Ranveer Singh,” she said.

“It’s a really strange situation to be in since it’s one in every of our members, but neither the artist nor the producer or the Federation informed us or took us into confidence. We could have tried to resolve the difficulty. That’s what our association is there for, to resolve such issues or disputes or any type of problems that arise between an actor and a producer,” Poonam Dhillon had said.
Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh’s team has maintained a restrained stance throughout the controversy. In an official statement, the actor’s representatives said they preferred to “maintain silence,” adding that skilled disagreements ought to be handled maturely somewhat than through public speculation.
Amid growing tensions, reports have also suggested that Salman Khan has stepped in privately to mediate between Ranveer Singh and the Akhtar family. As reported by Bollywood Hungama, the actor has urged each parties to resolve the dispute amicably without allowing the matter to further impact skilled relationships throughout the industry.
