Actors’ body CINTAA chief Poonam Dhillon has reacted to the ongoing controversy involving Ranveer Singh and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees over Don 3. The Cine and TV Artistes' Association (CINTAA) president expressed disappointment that neither the actor nor FWICE approached the association to help resolve the issue. Meanwhile, actor Manoj Bajpayee also shared his thoughts on the controversy and hoped the matter would be settled soon.
Poonam Dhillon Reacts To The Dispute Of Ranveer Singh And FWICE
Speaking to Variety India, Poonam Dhillon said the situation was unusual because Ranveer Singh is a member of the Cine and TV Artistes' Association, yet the organisation was not informed about the conflict.
She said, “It's a very strange situation to be in because it's one of our members, but neither the artist nor the producer or the Federation informed us or took us into their confidence. We could have tried to resolve the issue.”
