The controversy surrounding Ranveer Singh’s exit from Don 3 appears to be moving toward a peaceful resolution after the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) decided to withdraw its non-cooperation directive against the actor. As the situation cools down, BN Tiwari clarifies that the federation never intended to target the actor and only wanted a constructive dialogue on the issue, emphasising that the organisation’s actions were never meant to harm Singh’s career.
Speaking about the development, FWICE President BN Tiwari said the federation’s primary objective was to initiate communication and resolve concerns through discussion rather than confrontation.
BN Tiwari Clarifies Federation’s Intentions
According to Tiwari, the federation expected that issuing the non-cooperation directive would encourage discussions between both sides. However, he believes the situation escalated because of how the matter was handled by the actor’s representatives.
Tiwari stated that Ranveer Singh’s team responded by claiming that FWICE did not have jurisdiction over the actor. He pointed out that Singh is an artist associated with CINTAA, which is affiliated with the federation, leading FWICE to take action.
Despite the dispute, Tiwari stressed that there was never any intention to undermine the actor’s success or reputation.
He reiterated that the federation respects Ranveer Singh’s standing in the industry and has no personal agenda against him. Instead, FWICE’s focus remains on protecting the interests of workers and technicians connected to the film industry.
Why FWICE Withdrew the Non-Cooperation Directive?
The decision to withdraw the non-cooperation directive came after discussions with several industry bodies, including producer organisations.
Tiwari revealed that FWICE held meetings with IMPPA and other producer groups, which expressed concerns about the atmosphere created by the ongoing conflict. According to him, these organisations suggested that the directive be removed so that meaningful discussions could take place in a more constructive environment.
FWICE accepted that recommendation and decided to step back. Tiwari described the film industry as one family and emphasised the need for an amicable resolution that benefits everyone involved.
The move signals a shift away from confrontation and toward dialogue, which industry stakeholders hope will help settle the matter without further disruption.
Legal Notice and Next Steps
While the directive has been withdrawn, the legal aspect of the dispute is still active.
Tiwari confirmed that FWICE has received a legal notice from Ranveer Singh’s team. However, he maintained that the federation would address the matter through appropriate legal channels.
He noted that both sides have legal representation and that FWICE’s legal team would respond accordingly. At the same time, he suggested that recent developments indicate the issue is gradually moving toward a solution.
The federation, he said, has placed its trust in producer bodies and industry representatives to help guide the matter toward a positive outcome.
Ranveer Singh Exit From Don 3
One of the key points highlighted by Tiwari was the absence of direct communication with the actor himself.
Although he acknowledged meeting filmmaker Farhan Akhtar and members of his team, Tiwari said he never had the chance to sit down with Ranveer Singh personally. He expressed the view that a direct conversation could have prevented much of the misunderstanding surrounding the issue.
Tiwari made it clear that he harbours no ill feelings toward the actor and wishes him continued success. He also emphasised his broader concern for the well-being of the film industry, which he believes should remain the priority for all stakeholders.
As the dispute surrounding Ranveer Singh’s exit from Don 3 begins to ease, BN Tiwari clarifies that the federation never intended to target the actor and only wanted a constructive dialogue on the issue. The withdrawal of the FWICE non-cooperation directive marks an important step toward reconciliation, while ongoing legal processes continue through formal channels.
For Tiwari, the focus remains on maintaining harmony within the industry, supporting workers and technicians, and ensuring that conversations replace conflict. With both sides now appearing open to resolution, the controversy may finally be heading toward a more constructive conclusion.
