Veteran filmmaker and Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) chief advisor Ashoke Pandit has opened up about the controversy surrounding Ranveer Singh’s exit from Don 3 and the subsequent dispute with Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment, insisting that the actor was never “banned” by the federation and that the issue was always about protecting producers and technicians from losses caused by last-minute exits. Speaking to Hindi Rush, Pandit claimed that the makers of Don 3 had approached the federation after allegedly incurring significant expenses on the film before Ranveer exited the project. According to Ashoke Pandit, the producers submitted documents showing that substantial investments had already been made before the matter reached FWICE. “A producer and director came to us and filed a complaint.
