Ranveer Singh’s Father Challenges ₹45 Crore Don 3 Claim
Don 3 is involved in a disagreement about money and Ranveer Singh’s role in the film.
Ranveer’s father, Jagjit Singh Bhavnani, took his son’s side of the dispute to a film producers’ association.
He submitted a plea against a reported ₹45 crore claim from Excel Entertainment.
The claim is linked to reported losses or damages after Ranveer left the project.
Ranveer reportedly left because of creative differences with the makers.
A workers’ federation briefly told its members not to cooperate with him.
That directive was later withdrawn after discussions involving several film organizations.
IMPPA will study what both sides have submitted before deciding what should happen next.
Jagjit Singh Bhavnani met IMPPA officials and submitted a plea challenging Excel Entertainment’s reported ₹45 crore claim.
The dispute followed Ranveer Singh’s reported exit from Don 3 over creative differences before filming began.
FWICE issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer on 25 May and withdrew it eight days later on 3 June.
Excel Entertainment reportedly presented Don 3’s contract, promotional material featuring Ranveer and a message expressing his excitement about the film.
IMPPA’s legal team will review documents and evidence from both sides before deciding on further action or a possible resolution.
