Ranveer Singh is currently at the center of a major industry dispute following his reported abrupt exit from Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3. The situation escalated after the FWICE issued a 'non-cooperation directive' against the actor, effectively stalling his professional collaborations.
Stepping into the fray, Rakhi Sawant has publicly defended Ranveer, accusing the federation members of being 'jealous' of his success. She further criticised Farhan Akhtar, suggesting he is allegedly using Ranveer’s name merely to generate publicity for the project.
Rakhi said, "Main condemn karti hoon. Jin logon ne Ranveer ko ban kiya hai… mujhe bahut gussa aa raha hai. Kyunki woh superstar hai, Ranveer par har banda jalta hai. Inke pichwade mein takat hai toh Salman Khan ko ban karke dikhaye, mere bhai ko. Ek-ek ko uda kar Salman bhai band baja dega. Ranveer apni mehnat se aaya hai, Deepika (Padukone) aur Ranveer dono apni mehnat se aaye hain."
She further added, "Salman Khan ko aise log ban karke dikhaye, woh bata denge. FWICE, aap log humare Ranveer se jalte ho kyunki unhone lagatar superhit filmein di hain. Aap mein dum hai toh Salman ko touch karke batao, woh tumhari baja dega. Farhan Akhtar jitna apni filmon mein superhit nahi hua, woh kahin dikha nahi, ab Ranveer ke naam par publicity nikal raha hai aur woh dikh gaya hai."

FWICE issues non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh
The ongoing dispute over Don 3 escalated on May 25, 2026, when the FWICE officially issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh. The move follows producer Farhan Akhtar’s claim of a Rs 45 crore loss due to Singh’s last-minute exit from the film.
Ashoke Pandit emphasised the need for a formal resolution, stating that the producers, the actor and the federation must meet to reach a compromise on the financial damages. He argued that whether the final settlement is Rs 45 crore or a lower figure like Rs 30 crore, a dialogue is essential to provide closure. Pandit likened the situation to a family dispute that must be settled reasonably so that all parties can eventually return to work.
