FWICE (Film Federation of Western Cine Employees) has banned Ranveer Singh after suddenly leaving Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3. Until the matter is resolved, people associated with the federation will not be able to work with Ranveer. After this announcement, many people from the industry have come out in his support. Chunky Pandey has told that at one time he too had become a victim of this ban. The ban on him was lifted after he apologized. On the other hand, FWICE Chief Advisor Ashok Pandit has given clarification on the ban.
I have also faced this – Chunky Pandey
Chunky Pandey recently told in an interview to E-Times on the Ranveer Singh controversy that in 1987 there was a strike in the film industry and shooting was not allowed. But at the same time his film Aag Hi Aag was shot in Ooty. Angered by this, the Federation had banned everyone working in the film. However, at that time Dharmendra and Shatrughan Sinha were such big stars, who had 30-40 films together, so it was difficult to ban them.
Chunky Pandey, who was a newcomer and his first film had not even been released, was banned for a week. Chunky Pandey apologized over the controversy, after which he was allowed to work again. In the conversation, Chunky Pandey has said, our industry is very small and delicate. I have suffered all this myself.
Hope this matter will be resolved soon- Manoj Bajpayee
Actor Manoj Bajpayee has also reacted on this during the promotional event of the upcoming film Governor. On the question related to Ranveer’s ban, he said, ‘This place is not at all right for this. I want to tell you one thing that all the people in this industry are reading about it only on social media and we do not have any detailed information about it.
Manoj Bajpayee further said, ‘As a co-worker and a member of this community, all we can say is that we hope that this matter will be resolved soon. This matter will be resolved without any further aggravation.
Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta has also criticized the federation for banning Ranveer. He wrote from the official social media account, ‘When an A-lister hero shoots, more than 300 workers work with him on the set. Banning someone does not harm him, rather the livelihood of those workers who are dependent on that work is snatched away. What does it mean in the end?
FWICE Chief Advisor Ashok Pandit gave clarification
After the ban was criticized, Ashok Pandit has given clarification on this matter. He says that people have misinterpreted his order. In an interview given to E-Times, Ashok Pandit said-
First of all, the entire conversation went wrong. This is not a ban. We are not a court. We can’t ban people. We have done a non-corporation issue. This means that those who are members of our 30 crafts will not work with Ranveer. It is our choice whether we work with them or not.We are like a trade union. The matter has not been resolved yet, because we have seen that this very wrong trend has started.
Learn about the case in detail?
Farhan Akhtar had announced the film Don-3 with actor Ranveer Singh in the year 2023. This was going to be the third film of this franchise after Shahrukh starrer Don in 2006 and Don-2 in 2011.
Kiara Advani was cast in the film at the time of announcement. But due to pregnancy and maternity break, Kiara left the film, after which there were reports of Kriti Sanon being cast.
Farhan Akhtar was making this film under the banner of home production Excel Entertainment. To continue with Don-3, Farhan postponed his second film Jee Le Zara.
When the film got delayed, Ranveer Singh got busy with Dhurandhar. There were reports that the shooting of Don 3 would start in 2025, but then suddenly Ranveer Singh left the film. The makers allege that Ranveer was interfering in the script. He was demanding abusive and violent scenes, but the makers did not agree to it.
Midday’s report claimed that Ranveer has left the film and will soon return the signing amount of the film, whereas the makers had already spent on the film due to pre-production, delays and re-work.
On this, Farhan Akhtar complained to the Producers Guild and demanded damages of Rs 45 crore. He said that he has suffered huge losses due to changes in pre-production and shooting schedules.
Then Aamir Khan also tried to intervene, but things did not work out. The Producers Guild also gave time for reconciliation to both the parties, but a solution was still not found.
Later this matter reached FWICE. Taking the matter seriously, the Federation sent 3 notices to Ranveer Singh on different occasions, but he clearly said that this is a legal matter, which should be resolved not by the Federation but through the court. Finally, after holding a press conference on May 25, the Federation announced the ban on Ranveer.
Ranveer Singh’s team said – they are silent after thinking
Ranveer Singh’s spokesperson said- Ranveer Singh wholeheartedly respects every person associated with the film industry and ‘Don’ franchise. Whatever has happened recently regarding ‘Don 3’, he thought it best to remain silent after careful consideration. He believes that work-related matters and relationships should always be handled with dignity, understanding and mutual respect.
Meanwhile, many things and rumors have come to light, but Ranveer never considered it necessary to give any clarification on this publicly or promote these speculations. His entire focus is completely on his work and upcoming projects.
He has respect for everyone associated with this film and wants this franchise to be very successful in the future. It has always been his decision to maintain restraint and decency on such difficult occasions, and he will continue to maintain the same stance in future also.
Now understand what is FWICE? What effect will the ban have on Ranveer?
Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) is the largest organization protecting the interests of workers and artistes of the film industry. It was started in the year 1956 and was registered in 1958.
Mother Body: This federation mainly works like a mother body (apex organization). A total of 34 different associations come under this.
Number of members: About 4 to 5 lakh members of 34 associations like actors, directors, producers, cameramen, technicians, junior artists and spotboys are associated with it.
Scope: It is the largest film federation in Asia. At present, about 90 percent of the people working in the film industry are members of the associations associated with this federation. It has its own constitution, which is necessary for all members to follow.
Shooting gets canceled if federation stops working
FWICE has great power to control the working environment of the film industry.
Stopping work: If the federation stops its 4 to 5 lakh members from working on any project, then the shooting of films and TV shows will completely stop from the very next day.
Collecting Payment: The federation resolves money disputes between makers and actors. For example, some time ago producer Firoz Nadiadwala did not pay around Rs 3 crore to the crew members after a film. The Federation instructed all the members not to work before the shooting of his next film ‘Welcome to Jungle’. After this, under pressure from the production company and the federation, Firoz Nadiadwala had to pay the old dues.
Right of action: The Federation can declare any association or member as non-member if it acts against the Constitution.
