The Federation of Western Indian Cine Employees (FWICE) has issued a non-cooperation directive against prominent actor Ranveer Singh, instructing its over 400,000 members to avoid collaborations with him. This action stems from Singh's departure from Farhan Akhtar's film Don 3, which has led to a complaint from the production house Excel Entertainment for damages amounting to ₹45 crore. FWICE Chief Advisor Ashoke Pandit clarified that this is not a formal ban but rather a request for Singh to resolve the issues personally. The FWICE has a history of similar directives, having previously taken action against various celebrities, including Chunky Panday, who was banned in 1986 during a strike. Panday noted that while he faced repercussions for his involvement in a film during the strike, bigger stars like Dharmendra and Shatrughan Sinha were not similarly affected due to their prominence in the industry. Singh's recent success with the spy thriller franchise Dhurandhar, which earned over ₹3000 crore at the box office, is now at risk due to this ongoing dispute.
