Explaining the basis of FWICE's decision, Ashoke Pandit claimed the federation reviewed extensive documentation related to the Don 3's pre-production work
The controversy surrounding Ranveer Singh's departure from Don 3 continues to make headlines. Now, Ashoke Pandit, President of the Indian Film and Television Directors' Association (IFTDA) and Chief Advisor to the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), explained why it announced non-cooperation against the actor.
Speaking to Hindi Rush, Pandit claimed that the makers of Don 3 had approached the federation with a formal complaint after significant money had already been invested in the project.
“A producer and director came to us and filed a complaint saying they were making Don 3 and that around Rs 45 crore had already been invested in the project. They brought all the documents, expense sheets and details of the signing amounts,” he said.
According to Pandit, such expenditure is not unusual for a big-budget film. “If you're making a Rs 300-crore film, Rs 45 crore in pre-production expenses is normal. The unit was supposed to leave for shooting within three weeks and suddenly there was a walkout.”
