Ranveer Singh Sues FWICE Over Non-Cooperation Directive Amid Don 3 Controversy

Mumbai, June 3 - Bollywood star Ranveer Singh has reportedly taken legal action against the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), escalating the ongoing controversy surrounding his exit from Don 3. The move comes just days after the industry body issued a non-cooperation directive against the actor following complaints from the film's producers. According to a report by India Today, Ranveer has served a legal notice to FWICE and approached the Bombay Civil Court, challenging the federation's decision. The actor's legal team is said to have questioned the legitimacy of the directive and its potential impact on his professional commitments. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) What Is The Don 3 Dispute About? The controversy began after it was revealed that Ranveer Singh had stepped away from Don 3, the highly anticipated action thriller directed by Farhan Akhtar. Reports claimed that significant pre-production work had already been completed before the actor's withdrawal, leading to substantial financial losses of 45 crores for the producers. Following complaints from producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, FWICE issued a non-cooperation directive on May 25. The federation alleged that Ranveer had failed to respond to multiple notices regarding the matter and urged its affiliated workers and technicians to refrain from collaborating with him until the dispute was resolved. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) FWICE Clarifies Position As news of the directive spread, many reports described it as a "ban" on the actor. However, FWICE officials later clarified that the federation does not possess the authority to ban artists from working in the industry. FWICE Chief Advisor Ashoke Pandit stated that the organisation had merely issued a non-cooperation call to its affiliated members and that participation remained voluntary. Industry Reacts The issue has sparked strong reactions from several members of the film fraternity. Producer Nikhil Dwivedi publicly questioned the rationale behind actions that could potentially affect an individual's livelihood, arguing that contractual disagreements should be resolved through legal mechanisms rather than industry directives. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Veteran producer T. P. Aggarwal also expressed support for Ranveer Singh and reportedly challenged FWICE's decision in court. Meanwhile, actress and politician Kangana Ranaut voiced her support for the actor during the controversy. The debate has reignited discussions about the role of film industry associations and the extent of their powers in handling disputes involving actors and production houses.

May 2026 Box Office Report: Regional Cinema Dominates With Kruppu, Drishyam 3, Raja Shivaji Amid Bollywood's Struggle

Mumbai, May 30 - May 2026 turned out to be one of the most successful months for the Indian box office, with at least three major theatrical wins across the film industry. While the Tamil and Malayalam film industries continued their solid run through Karuppu and Drishyam 3, respectively, the biggest surprise came from Marathi cinema as Deool Band 2 emerged as an unexpected blockbuster, amid the underperforming Bollywood titles. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Karuppu and Drishyam 3's Blockbuster Run Suriya's Karuppu turned out to be a massive commercial success for Tamil cinema. Directed by RJ Balaji, the action drama shattered every major career record for Suriya and maintained extraordinary momentum throughout the month. Released on May 15, the film has crossed 270 crores worldwide in just 15 days so far, also earning more than 2x of Suriya's previous biggest grosser, Singam 2. The film has performed exceptionally well in Tamil Nadu with 130+ crores gross so far, while also drawing strong support from the rest of the domestic and overseas audiences. Meanwhile, Mohanlal's Drishyam 3 once again showcased the power of one of Indian cinema's most celebrated thriller franchises. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the film opened to phenomenal numbers and continued its solid run across domestic and overseas markets despite mixed reception. Kerala led the charge on the domestic front, but the overseas market is once again proving to be a major contributor for a Malayalam title. In just 8 days so far, the film has minted 200+ crores worldwide, including 100+ crores overseas collection. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Marathi Cinema Wins Big With Raja Shivaji's and Deool Band 2 Marathi cinema has emerged as a major winner this month with the blockbuster run of Raja Shivaji, and an unexpected success in Deool Band 2. Directed by and starring Riteish Deshmukh, Raja Shivaji scripted history by emerging as the highest-grossing Marathi film of all-time, beating Sairat's 110 crores record, which stood for nearly 10 years. Released on May 1st, the historical epic has grossed over 115 crores worldwide in 29 days so far. Meanwhile, devotional drama, Deool Band 2, scored the limelight by delivering a surprise success. After a 2.90 crore gross opening, the film witnessed solid growth over the weekend due to positive word of mouth and showed remarkable consistency on weekdays. In 8 days so far, the film has minted 39+ crores gross, and is marching towards 50 crores, which is a blockbuster for the film of its scale. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Bollywood Underperforms With Pati Patni Aur Woh Do and Chand Mera Dil In contrast to the regional dominance, May 2026 also witnessed disappointments in Hindi cinema. Films like Pati Patni Aur Woh Do and Chand Mera Dil failed to generate the theatrical momentum the industry had expected. Pati Patni Aur Woh Do struggled to attract audiences despite being a sequel. The film opened to underwhelming occupancies and failed to show significant growth over the weekend. While PPAWD has managed to cross 50 crores worldwide, the overall total remains low considering the scale and expectations. Similarly, romantic drama Chand Mera Dil also failed to capitalise on its urban appeal and music-driven promotions. After failing to score a decent opening, the film hasn't shown the momentum required for a rebound. It has grossed around 28.50 crores so far in 8 days, which is a poor collection.
