Following Ranveer’s exit, reports indicate that Excel Entertainment has demanded approximately Rs 40 crore as compensation. The production house claims the project had already entered advanced pre-production stages, involving heavy investments in script development, location scouting, planning, and scheduling.
According to industry insiders, producers believe Ranveer’s exit resulted in significant financial losses and delays. A source familiar with the development reportedly stated that the actor’s decision derailed months of preparation and forced the team to rethink casting and production timelines.
Ranveer, however, is believed to be contesting the demand. Reports suggest he maintains that he is not legally obligated to pay compensation, possibly indicating differences in contractual interpretation. With no official statements from either party, the situation remains uncertain and continues to attract widespread industry attention.
