Ranveer Singh’s Team Responds

According to FWICE, the actor did not respond initially. However, after the federation announced the press conference, Ranveer Singh’s team reportedly sent an email questioning FWICE’s authority in the dispute.

FWICE President B N Tiwari said the matter also affected thousands of workers connected to film production. “A strong message needs to be sent to the industry, even if someone is a superstar, they are not above the rules and regulations,” he stated.

The federation has now officially issued a non-cooperation directive against the actor until the matter is resolved.
