Can FWICE really ban Ranveer Singh? But the question is, does the FWICE really have the legal authority to issue a “non-cooperation directive” to its members and prohibit them from collaborating with Ranveer in any professional capacity? “FWICE is a federation of craft associations, not a statutory regulator. Its authority is consensual and confined to its members,” Sanjay Vasudevan, a media and entertainment lawyer, tells SCREEN. He argues that …
