The Don 3 dispute between Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment intensified after the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) issued a non-cooperation directive against the actor for walking away from the project days before filming was set to begin. Later, the body withdrew the directive and clarified that it had not banned the actor. Veteran actress Poonam Dhillon, president of the Cine & TV Artistes’ Association (CINTAA), has supported the decision and called a responsible actor committed to his work. She also revealed that the Dhurandhar star’s father had been in touch with her regarding the controversy. Here’s what he had to say about the ongoing feud.

She added that while the family was unhappy with the way FWICE had handled the matter, they did not seek ‘s intervention. When she offered assistance, Ranveer’s father reportedly told her that they did not want to trouble the association and were already in the process of resolving the issue themselves.
