Ranveer Singh’s father was unhappy with FWICE’s handling of Don 3 dispute,” says CINTAA President Poonam Dhillon

The controversy around Ranveer Singh and the movie Don 3 might have ended, but people in the film industry are still talking about it. Now, Poonam Dhillon, the president of Cine and TV Artistes' Association (CINTAA), has shared new information about her talks with Ranveer Singh's father, Jagjit Singh Bhavnani, during the dispute.

Speaking to Variety India, Poonam talked about the recent decision by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) to stop its non-cooperation stance against Ranveer.

 She said she felt relieved with the outcome and believed the action taken against Ranveer was unfair. "As an actor and as CINTAA president, I'm glad they've stopped the directive because he didn't deserve it," she said.

The problem started when Excel Entertainment claimed that Ranveer Singh had left the project Don 3 after agreeing to do it.

 They said this caused financial losses and messed up the film's long-term plans. After this complaint, FWICE issued a non-cooperation order against Ranveer after attempts to resolve things through talks failed.

This decision caused a lot of discussion in the industry.

 Eventually, talks between all parties and help from industry groups led to a resolution, and the non-cooperation directive was canceled.

During the conversation, Poonam said she stayed in constant contact with Ranveer's father throughout the whole situation.

 "I spoke with Ranveer's father a lot and we kept in touch on WhatsApp. He thanked me for the support," she said.

Poonam explained that Jagjit Singh Bhavnani made it clear there was no anger towards Farhan Akhtar or the Excel Entertainment team, despite the disagreement.

 She added, "He told me there was no bad feelings from his side towards Farhan Akhtar or the Excel team."

Poonam also mentioned that the family wasn't happy with how FWICE handled the situation.

 However, they had already started talking with the involved parties and were trying to resolve things on their own. "They were not happy with the way FWICE handled it. I asked him if CINTAA could help. But he said, 'We didn't involve you because we didn't want to bother you and we're already working on it,'" she said.

The veteran actor explained that neither Ranveer nor his father felt they needed to get help from CINTAA since the conversations were already happening behind the scenes.

Now that everything is settled and the directive has been removed, Poonam said she was happy that all sides could find an agreement.
