Ranveer Singh’s father approaches IMPPA over Rs 45 crores Don 3 damages claim: Report
Here's the latest box office buzz making the rounds:
According to an India Today report, IMPPA’s legal team will now examine the material submitted by Bhavnani before deciding on the next course of action. The association could also explore whether the dispute between Ranveer and Excel Entertainment can be resolved through the industry body.
Adding to this, The dispute centres on Excel Entertainment’s reported demand for around Rs 45 crores in damages following Ranveer’s exit from Don 3 . The producers have alleged that his decision came shortly before the movie was scheduled to begin shooting, resulting in losses related to pre-production and other arrangements.
Meanwhile, IMPPA President Abhay Sinha had earlier indicated that Ranveer’s legal team was willing to participate in the proceedings. With submissions now made on behalf of both sides, the association is expected to review the details before determining how the matter will proceed.
Notably, Ranveer was revealed as the new lead of Don 3 in August 2023, taking over the role previously played by Shah Rukh Khan in the first two films. However, reports later emerged that the star had decided to withdraw from the project.
As per the latest buzz, The dispute escalated after Excel Entertainment, led by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, as per reports sought compensation for the losses allegedly incurred following Ranveer’s exit. The matter was subsequently taken to industry bodies, including the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE).
In further updates, FWICE had issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer in May 2026. The directive later became part of the wider dispute, although the financial claim remains unresolved.
On top of that, On the professional front, Ranveer has already begun shooting for Pralay , a zombie thriller directed by Jai Mehta. The movie also stars Kalyani Priyadarshan and of late went on floors in Mumbai.
