Indian Stars Who Faced FWICE Action Before Ranveer Singh: Diljit Dosanjh, Mika Singh And Others

The ongoing dispute between Ranveer Singh and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) over Don 3 dispute has once again brought attention to celebrities who faced action from the film body in the past. Although FWICE later clarified that it had issued a non-cooperation directive and not a complete ban, several actors and singers have previously faced similar controversies and restrictions over different issues.

Diljit Dosanjh faced backlash in 2025 after his film Sardaar Ji 3 featured Pakistani actress Hania Aamir following the Pahalgam terror attack controversy. FWICE opposed the collaboration and issued a non-cooperation order against Diljit. Later, producer Bhushan Kumar reportedly requested the federation to reconsider the action to avoid affecting Border 2.

Mika Singh faced FWICE action in 2019 after performing at a wedding in Karachi, Pakistan. Reports claimed the event was linked to relatives of former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. FWICE strongly objected to the performance and sought a ban on Mika and his crew. The singer later apologised publicly, after which the restrictions were lifted.

After Ranveer Singh ban controversy, Chunky Panday also recalled being banned by the film body. In a conversation with Etimes, Chunky Panday shared that in 1986 FWICE called for a strike all across the film industry, but still few producers used to shoot. He was banned from shooting for the film Aag Hi Aag but spared the other co-stars Shatrughan Sinha and Dharmendra because they were big stars. Chunky said however the ban was only for a week.
