Amid Don 3 controversy, Padmini stands firmly behind Ranveer

Amid ‘Don 3’ controversy, CINTAA's Padmini Kolhapure stands firmly behind Ranveer Singh

Ranveer Singh’s sudden exit from Don 3 triggered a Rs 45 crore loss, prompting Farhan Akhtar’s complaint and FWICE’s non-cooperation directive against him. Meanwhile, CINTAA Vice-President Padmini Kolhapure firmly backed Ranveer, stating the union stands with him. Both Ranveer and Farhan remain silent, while the actor’s spokesperson emphasized dignity and respect in handling the controversy surrounding the iconic franchise.

Ranveer Singh’s sudden exit from ‘Don 3’ continues to make waves in Bollywood. In the latest development, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) stepped in on Monday, issuing a non-cooperation directive against the actor after Farhan Akhtar filed a formal complaint against him. Farhan alleged that Ranveer’s abrupt departure from the film led to a massive financial setback of nearly Rs 45 crore. According to Pandit, Farhan first brought his complaint against Ranveer to FWICE on April 11, setting the wheels of this controversy in motion.

Padmini Kolhapure says CINTAA is proud to have Ranveer Singh as their member

As the controversy continues to steam, actress and CINTAA Vice-President Padmini Kolhapure has firmly thrown her weight behind Ranveer Singh, making it clear that the organisation stands squarely in his corner despite the FWICE ban. In a conversation with IANS, Padmini did not mince her words when expressing her support for the actor. “CINTAA is proud to have Ranveer Singh as our member. We stand by him and for him whenever he needs us. This is already out in the public domain, so I do not want to comment more about it. We are here for him, with him. If he ever needs us, we are for Ranveer Singh,” she said.

Ranveer Singh’s spokesperson breaks silence on ‘Don 3’ controversy

Ranveer’s official spokesperson broke their silence and weighed in on the swirling controversy and the non-cooperation directive issued against the actor. Choosing their words carefully, the spokesperson put out a measured and dignified statement on his behalf. “Ranveer Singh holds the highest regard for the film fraternity and for everyone associated with the Don franchise. Throughout the recent developments surrounding Don 3, he has consciously chosen to maintain silence, believing that professional discussions and personal equations are best handled with dignity, maturity and mutual respect,” the statement read.

Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar yet to officially address the ‘Don 3’ row

Despite the continuing controversy, both Ranveer and Farhan have chosen to stay tight-lipped, with neither officially breaking their silence on the matter so far.

From Shah Rukh Khan to Ranveer Singh: The legacy of the ‘Don’ franchise

The ‘Don’ franchise is one of the most loved action-thriller series in Bollywood. Shah Rukh Khan played the lead role in the first two films and made the character truly iconic. When it was announced that Ranveer Singh would take over the role for ‘Don 3’, fans were thrilled and excited. His exit from the project therefore came as a big shock to everyone. Go to Source
