Farhan Akhtar and Ranveer Singh have landed in a high-profile dispute over the much-awaited film Don 3, sending shockwaves through Bollywood. The controversy escalated after Farhan Akhtar reportedly demanded ₹40 crore in damages from Ranveer Singh following the latter's exit from the project.

Ranveer Singh, who recently delivered a massive hit with Dhurandhar, finds himself at the centre of this storm. Farhan, known for his directorial and production work, argued that Singh's departure came after substantial investments had already been made in Don 3's pre-production. This has led the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) to announce a ban on Ranveer Singh, further intensifying the situation.

Insiders close to Ranveer Singh claim he was dissatisfied with Don 3's final draft and had suggested several changes. It is also reported that Ranveer was willing to pay ₹10 crore for his exit, but Farhan's demand stands much higher. Rumours are swirling that Ranveer's perspective changed after the blockbuster success of Dhurandhar, though exact details of discussions remain confidential.

With industry circles abuzz and social media reacting strongly to both the ban and the hefty compensation demand, all eyes are now on how this dramatic standoff between Farhan Akhtar and Ranveer Singh will be resolved. Fans await official statements and the future of Don 3 remains uncertain.
