Published by Parlour News

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees’ (FWICE) decision to withdraw its non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh has sparked speculation that the move came after the actor sent the federation a legal notice. However, FWICE president BN Tiwari has dismissed the claims, asserting that the body did not take the decision “on a gunpoint”. Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar are embroiled in a dispute over the film Don 3. BN Tiwari clarifies On Wednesday, FWICE withdrew its non-cooperation directive against Ranveer, which had been imposed on May 25 following his controversial exit from Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3. They announced the decision at a press meet in Mumbai. “We look at the industry as one family. We don’t have any issues with anyone. Whenever someone comes to us with an issue, conflict, or non-payment matter, we issue a non-cooperation notice against the conflicted party. And we take the notice back once the issue is resolved. So, we don’t look at it as a defeat or anything. We don’t even regret taking the non-corporative notice back,” BN …

Exclusive! Legal expert Hitesh Jain on Ranveer Singh, Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3 row: FWICE had no business taking sides

Published by Parlour News

Hitesh Jain, legal expert and managing partner at Parinam Law, speaking to us about Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3 row says, “The directives issued by FWICE were meaningless and unenforceable. In the past, FWICE has not been able to enforce such directives and courts have criticised them as well. In any event, these directives were always meant to be taken with a pinch of salt. The film industry is not going through a glorious time and people are struggling for work. When you issue such directives, it is not in the interest of the workforce, which FWICE claims to represent. When you halt a project, you go against employment opportunities for the many people engaged on it. FWICE had no business taking any stand in a matter involving two parties.” He adds, “If Excel Entertainment felt it had a strong case, nothing prevented it from approaching the court. In a contractual dispute, there is no question of morality. The fact that Excel did not approach the court and instead used backdoor methods exposes …
