Actor Ranveer Singh walked out of Farhan Akhtar’s directorial Don 3 nearly two years after its official announcement, which introduced him as the new face of the franchise previously headlined by Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. Singh’s decision to leave the project coincided with the massive box-office success of Dhurandhar. His exit has since led to a full-blown industry dispute, with unions and guilds stepping in to mediate between the actor and producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment. Timeline of Don 3 row Excel Entertainment filed a formal complaint with the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), claiming it had already spent Rs 45 crore on preparations for the film and that Singh’s withdrawal resulted in a significant financial loss. Although the film had not gone on floors, Singh had reportedly begun training and attended several preparation sessions. However, in December 2025, around the release of Dhurandhar, he allegedly cancelled his training commitments. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

‘Ranveer Singh at all-time low, Aditya Dhar had 1 film’: Sanjay Gupta on Dhurandhar’s Rs 300-cr gamble | Bollywood News

4 min readNew DelhiMay 13, 2026 04:40 PM IST Dhurandhar first released in December last year, yet conversations around the film continue even today — largely because of the film’s scale, storytelling brilliance and audiences’ obsession with filmmaker Aditya Dhar’s “peak detailing” across both Part 1 and Part 2. The nearly eight-hour-long franchise reportedly earned over Rs 3000 crore worldwide despite being mounted on a budget of around Rs 300 crore. Industry insiders now believe the phenomenon was possible not just because of Aditya’s vision, but also because of his deep-rooted influence from 80s and 90s cinema, combined with the unwavering backing of the Ambanis. Speaking on the InControversial Podcast, filmmaker Sanjay Gupta reflected on Aditya Dhar’s filmmaking style and the massive gamble behind the project. “It is very evident that Aditya Dhar is inspired by filmmakers of the 80s and 90s. I can clearly see those influences and that style of world-building. There is no doubt that Aditya Dhar is an exceptionally intelligent filmmaker. But having said that, he spent four years trying to …

First, the Karnataka High Court dismissed a writ petition from filmmaker Santosh Kumar seeking cancellation of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) certificate granted to Dhurandhar. On the same day, the filmmaker, who has accused Dhar of stealing his script for the film, assured Bombay High Court he will not make ‘defamatory statements’ against the director. Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar stars Ranveer Singh in the lead role. Relief for Aditya Dhar in Dhurandhar plagiarism row LiveLaw reported that the single judge bench of Justice K S Hemalekha in Karnataka HC equivocally dismissed Santosh’s petition demanding the cancellation of Dhurandhar’s certification on the allegation that the movie was a plagiarised version of the Bengaluru-based screenwriter’s original script titled D-Saheb.
