The recent buzz around Ranveer Singh’s departure from Don 3 has sparked a lively debate in the film industry. Many figures have chimed in, but filmmaker Ashoke Pandit, representing the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), has particularly responded to Kangana Ranaut’s recent remarks supporting Singh.
At the launch of her new film Bharat Bhhagya Vidhata, Kangana came to Ranveer’s defense, likening his situation to her own experiences in Bollywood. She mentioned that as one achieves success, it’s common to make enemies and pointed out that she’s faced her share of bans and boycotts, yet continues to thrive in her career.
In reaction, Ashoke Pandit expressed frustration, indicating that many industry voices are misinformed about the actual circumstances. During a press conference held by FWICE, he noted that comments from various individuals, including Kangana, reflect a misunderstanding of the issue. He stated, “A lot of people have started criticizing us. Kangana said she has been banned too. I told her, ‘You talk nonsense, that’s why I banned you.’ We’re not against Ranveer; we’re discussing the real problem here.”
Pandit’s remarks come as FWICE has clarified that they have not called for a ban on Ranveer Singh. Instead, they are looking into the issues surrounding his exit from the highly anticipated Don 3.
This controversy emerged after Ranveer’s surprising exit from the film, where he was initially confirmed as the lead and even featured in a promotional teaser. Recent reports indicated that financial concerns related to the production may have prompted complaints that reached FWICE.
As discussions about the Ranveer Singh – Don 3 situation evolve, the film community watches closely, with more stakeholders likely to weigh in.
