Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3 controversy took a new turn. Ranveer Singh’s father, Jagjit Singh Bhavnani, has reportedly filed a plea with the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) against Excel Entertainment’s Rs 45 crore claim.
The latest update coincides with the ongoing controversy surrounding the actor’s alleged exit from the movie.
According to India Today, IMPPA’s legal staff will now review the records and evidence provided by Ranveer Singh’s father to reach a verdict that is equitable for both sides.
IMPPA President Abhay Sinha has confirmed that he met Jagjit Singh on Tuesday and shared that the association would evaluate the request and determine its next line of action.
For the unversed, the feud started when Ranveer left Don 3 earlier this year, soon after Dhurandhar’s success. The reports suggested that there had been conflicts over the screenplay and delays.
The film’s production company Excel Entertainment have reportedly sought reimbursement of Rs 40 crore, claiming pre-production costs, schedule modifications, and associated losses. According to the production company, Ranveer approved the completion of the foundation.
Meanwhile, other reports suggested that Ranveer reportedly left because he was unhappy with the script, there was no bound script, and he was worried about how the project was being managed. Additionally, he was allegedly not paid in advance or reimbursed for time missed due to the shelving of other projects, such as Baiju Bawra.
During a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, Farhan took a jibe at Ranveer’s exit from Don 3 just before they were scheduled to start shooting.
He said, “It was a month away from filming, which seems to be a pattern nowadays.”
