Ranveer Singh Warns IMPPA Over Don 3 Legal Dispute
Ranveer Singh is involved in a disagreement about the movie Don 3.
The producers, Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, complained to a film-industry association called IMPPA.
They reportedly want Rs 45 crore for costs and losses linked to Singh leaving the project.
Ranveer’s lawyers say IMPPA does not have the authority to decide the dispute.
They say the matter should instead go to court.
His team also reportedly warned that Ranveer would take legal action if IMPPA made a decision against him.
The lawyers said there was only a preliminary agreement, not a final contract.
Some IMPPA members reportedly think Ranveer should face consequences for leaving the movie at the last moment.
Ranveer Singh’s legal team reportedly warned IMPPA that he would pursue legal action if it passed a resolution against him.
The team argued that IMPPA lacks jurisdiction and that the dispute should be settled in court.
Excel Entertainment producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani reportedly sought Rs 45 crore over alleged losses after Singh exited Don 3.
Ranveer’s representatives said only a preliminary Memorandum of Understanding was signed, claiming Excel Entertainment had no grounds to complain to IMPPA.
A reported second letter urged IMPPA not to intervene, while some association members reportedly believed Singh should face consequences for leaving the film late.
