The Ranveer Singh and Don 3 standoff has reached a decisive point today, June 3, 2026. Box Office Worldwide has exclusively learned that FWICE is moving towards withdrawing its May 25 non-cooperation directive against the actor.
Fwice Set To Revoke Its Directive
A source said, “The head honchos of FWICE will likely announce that they are going to lift the non-cooperation directive against Ranveer. The revocation of their earlier order has been done in consultation with senior members of the film industry. In short, the workers are now free to work with Ranveer Singh in his upcoming projects.”
The press meet names chief advisor Ashoke Pandit, president B N Tiwari, general secretary Ashok Dubey and treasurer Gangeshwalal Shrivastav among the key office bearers.
Matter Takes A Legal Turn
The dispute also reached court after veteran producer T P Aggarwal filed a petition in the Bombay Civil Court at Dindoshi against FWICE and IMPPA, challenging any ban or non-cooperation move against industry members.
Aggarwal said, “The film industry thrives on collaboration, and it is important that matters of this nature are addressed through proper legal and professional channels. Any attempt to discourage people from working with an individual should not be taken lightly. Such actions can have far-reaching consequences for livelihoods and creative freedom, and therefore must be dealt with in a fair, transparent, and lawful manner.”
What Fwice Had Said Earlier
At the May 25 press meet, Ashoke Pandit explained, “Farhan Akhtar filed a complaint in IFTDA (Indian Film & Television Directors’ Association), which I head. The complaint very clearly said that 3 weeks before the unit was to leave the shoot, Ranveer withdrew from the film and left Don 3. Farhan came on Zoom as he was in London, while Ritesh Sidhwani visited the office of IFTDA. In the next two hours, they explained to us the issue and why they had come to us. Then, as a rule, we approached the other party. Every 10 days, we reminded him (Ranveer Singh) three times to meet us and share his version as well. However, we didn’t get any response from him. When we announced the press conference, we got an email stating that our federation doesn’t fall in the jurisdiction of the entire issue. It said, ‘Your body has no reason to get involved in this matter’.”
Birendra Nath Tiwari added, “We feel that the message should go to the industry ki koi superstar niyam se bada nahin hai. Hence, we have put in place a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer from this very day. We would like to inform all the workers and associations that until the dispute is solved and until Ranveer Singh doesn’t meet us, this directive will remain in place. Since this is about the rights of a producer, I would request the producer associations to also lend their support.”
Ranveer Singh’s Recent And Upcoming Work
Ranveer’s recent big-screen run includes Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani in 2023 and Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again in 2024. He also led Aditya Dhar’s two-part spy action thriller Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment-backed Don 3, co-starring Kiara Advani, remains a major announced project.
