Actor Kangana Ranaut has backed Ranveer Singh after a film body issued a ‘non-cooperation directive’ against him over his abrupt exit from Don 3. At the trailer launch of Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata in Mumbai on Tuesday, Kangana said that as a person’s stature grows, so do their enemies, drawing a parallel with her own experiences in the industry.
While speaking to the media, Kangana said, “You have been asking me. I have been banned by everybody. Jab aapki haisiyat badhti hai to dushman bhi badhti hai (When your stature is high, you get more enemies).”

“Aisa nahi hai ki aapki haisiyat badhe aur dushman na bane. Aaj Ranveer Singh ko ye sochna chahiye ki unki kya haisiyat hai ki unke itne dushman hain. To accha hai (It is a good thing). Zindagi me jab aap aage badhte hain to kai tarah ke obstacle aate hain (When you succeed in life then all kinds of obstacles come in the way). You can’t have just smooth road,” she added.
The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) issued a non-cooperation directive against actor Ranveer Singh in the ongoing Don 3 controversy. The federation also alleged that the actor failed to respond to repeated notices and invitations sent by the body regarding the dispute.
Excel Entertainment reportedly seeks Rs 45 crore in damages
Industry conversations around the controversy have intensified over the past week, especially after reports emerged that substantial investments had already been made during the film’s pre-production phase before the alleged fallout between the actor and the makers.
FWICE also confirmed that the claimed losses amount to nearly Rs 45 crore, which Excel Entertainment has reportedly demanded Ranveer pay as damages.
In its latest communication, FWICE stressed that the issue requires “collective deliberation and constructive intervention by all concerned producer bodies so that an amicable and practical resolution may be arrived at between the concerned parties in the larger interest of the industry.”
The federation also underlined that the incident has exposed the absence of a formal industry framework to deal with such situations.
FWICE concluded its letter by expressing confidence that “through collective dialogue and cooperation”, the current matter can be resolved constructively. It also stressed on simultaneously creating stronger preventive mechanisms to ensure the future stability of the Indian entertainment industry.
