Padmini Kolhapure voiced her steadfast backing for Ranveer Singh, declaring that the actors’ body will firmly stand by him. This comes
amid a non-cooperation directive issued by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) over his abrupt exit from Don 3.
Producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani (Excel Entertainment) filed a complaint alleging that Ranveer’s last-minute withdrawal weeks before international filming caused approximately ₹45 crore in pre-production losses.
Kolhapure strongly defended the actor, stating, “CINTAA is proud to have Ranveer Singh as their member and they stand by him and for him whenever he needs them.
CINTAA President Poonam Dhillon also expressed surprise and concern over the FWICE’s move, noting that CINTAA was neither informed nor consulted before the directive was announced.
While the FWICE directive remains active until the ₹45 crore financial dispute is resolved, there are hopes that all involved parties will sit down for a negotiated settlement.
