Aamir Khan tried to resolve Ranveer Singh-Don 3 dispute before FWICE stepped in,’ reveals Ashoke Pandit

The talk about Ranveer Singh leaving the movie Don 3 is still making waves in the film world. Even though the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) later took back their decision to stop working with him, the issue is still being discussed. Now, Ashoke Pandit, the main adviser of FWICE, has talked about what happened. He also said that some big names in the industry, like Aamir Khan, tried to fix the situation before it reached FWICE.

Speaking to Hindi Rush, Ashoke said a producer and director came to the federation with a complaint about the project.

 They told FWICE that they had already spent about 45 crores on pre-production and were ready to start filming.

Ashoke said that the main actor left the project just a few weeks before the shooting was supposed to begin.

 He added that FWICE followed their usual process by reaching out to Ranveer to hear his side. But they didn’t get any response. “We sent reminders for one and a half months,” Ashoke said, but there was no reply during that time.

He explained that FWICE looked into the documents and reports from Ranveer’s auditors.

 On the day they were about to announce their decision to not work with him, they got an email saying that two people from his team would meet them.

Ashoke said the federation took the situation seriously and decided to go ahead with their decision.

 He clarified that FWICE never actually banned Ranveer from working.

He emphasized that everyone in the film industry should be held accountable.

He said that no one, whether an actor, director, assistant, or even a spot boy, should be able to leave a project at the last minute without facing consequences.

He also mentioned that there were attempts within the industry to solve the problem before it got to FWICE.

 “Many people, including Aamir Khan, tried to resolve the issue before it came to us. It didn’t work. Today it’s Ranveer Singh. Tomorrow it could be someone else. This is what Excel is going through. If it was someone else, they would have gone to hell. They would have sold their house. You may have ten valid reasons for not doing a film. But if money has been spent because you committed to the project, then those losses should be reimbursed,” Ashoke said.

These comments have once again brought attention to the situation with Don 3 and the bigger discussion about commitments, accountability, and the financial losses involved in big film projects.
