A major controversy has emerged from Bollywood after reports surfaced about the ongoing dispute around Farhan Akhtar’s much-anticipated film Don 3, starring Ranveer Singh.

According to reports, Farhan Akhtar allegedly rejected Ranveer Singh’s remuneration structure, which included a ₹10 crore signing fee and a ₹25 crore adjusted offer during negotiations for the project.

The disagreement is said to have contributed to the actor’s exit from the film, which later escalated into a larger industry issue involving compensation claims and union intervention.

The fallout reportedly resulted in financial losses for the production house, with claims suggesting that around ₹40–45 crore was spent during pre-production activities such as location scouting, crew planning, and overseas schedules.

Following Ranveer Singh’s exit, the matter was taken up by industry bodies, leading to a ban of three years on Ranveer by FWICE, sparking widespread debate in the film fraternity.
