Producer Nikhil Dwivedi has publicly supported actor Ranveer Singh following the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) issuing a non-cooperation directive against him due to his last-minute exit from the film Don 3. Dwivedi raised important points about the need for mediation in contractual disputes, stating that halting someone’s ability to earn a living is an unfair trade practice. He argued that while representation bodies are essential for resolving conflicts, they should ultimately aim for reconciliation. If these efforts fail, he believes the matter should be taken to court. FWICE's advisor Ashoke Pandit claimed that the organization had attempted to contact Singh without success, leading to their directive. Singh has since responded, expressing his respect for the film industry and choosing to handle the situation with dignity. Additionally, veteran producer TP Aggarwal has challenged FWICE's directive by filing a petition in court.
