New Delhi: The controversy surrounding actor Ranveer Singh and the much-anticipated film Don 3 has taken a new turn. According to reports, the actor has approached the court after the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) issued a Non-Cooperation Directive (NCD) against him earlier this year.

The development has intensified the ongoing dispute between the actor and the film workers' body, drawing significant attention from the industry.

FWICE Confirms Receipt of Legal Notice

As per reports, FWICE chief advisor Ashoke Pandit confirmed that the federation has received a legal notice from Ranveer Singh. While details of the notice have not yet been made public, the federation is expected to address the matter in a press conference scheduled in Mumbai later today.

Industry observers are closely watching the situation, as it could have implications for both the actor and the production of Don 3.

Why Was the Directive Issued?

The dispute traces back to May 2026, when FWICE issued a Non-Cooperation Directive against Ranveer Singh. The action reportedly followed claims that the actor withdrew from Farhan Akhtar's upcoming action thriller Don 3 at the last moment.

The federation's directive sparked widespread discussion within the entertainment industry, with many awaiting clarity on the circumstances surrounding the reported exit.

Industry Awaits Further Developments

With legal proceedings now reportedly underway and FWICE preparing to make an official statement, the controversy appears far from over. Neither Ranveer Singh nor the makers of Don 3 have publicly commented on the latest developments.

As the situation continues to unfold, more details are expected to emerge in the coming days.
