Background of the Controversy

On Wednesday, the Producers Guild of India released a statement just before FWICE lifted its non-cooperation directive against Ranveer. The Guild addressed the exits of Singh and Akshaye Khanna from Don 3 and Drishyam 3, respectively. The statement emphasized that no industry member should engage in actions that lead to substantial financial losses for producers and other sectors within the industry. It warned of serious repercussions for such behavior, highlighting the reputational damage and adverse effects on the livelihoods of numerous technicians and crew members reliant on these projects.

The Guild reiterated its commitment to fostering a fair business environment and condemned any actions that disrupt the filmmaking process. Despite the FWICE's withdrawal of the directive, Ranveer has yet to provide compensation to the Don 3 production team. Further updates on this situation are anticipated in the coming weeks.
