Ranveer Singh breaks silence after FWICE row linked to Don 3; chooses 'restraint and grace'

Ranveer Singh has finally reacted to the ongoing controversy surrounding his reported exit from the upcoming film Don 3. While the actor has not spoken publicly himself, his official spokesperson released a detailed statement addressing the matter after reports of a non-cooperation directive issued by FWICE made headlines.

The statement said that Ranveer continues to hold “the highest regard for the film fraternity” and everyone associated with the Don franchise. It also stressed that the actor intentionally stayed silent throughout the controversy because he believes “professional discussions and personal equations are best handled with dignity, maturity and mutual respect.”

The spokesperson further mentioned that several narratives and speculations have surfaced over the past few weeks, but Ranveer never felt the need to react publicly or contribute to the ongoing discussions. According to the statement, the actor’s primary focus currently remains on his work commitments and upcoming projects.

“Ranveer has never considered it necessary to respond publicly or contribute to conjecture,” the statement read. It further added that the actor continues to hold “deep respect and goodwill” for everyone involved with the franchise and sincerely wishes the team success in the future.

The final part of the statement highlighted that “choosing restraint and grace” during difficult situations has always been a conscious decision on Ranveer’s part, and that he intends to maintain the same approach moving forward.

The controversy began after reports claimed that FWICE had issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer following his reported exit from Don 3. Industry discussions intensified after claims surfaced that the sudden development had allegedly affected schedules and production planning. However, neither Ranveer nor the makers had directly addressed the issue until this latest statement from the actor’s team.

Despite the ongoing speculation, the actor’s camp has avoided engaging in public back-and-forth exchanges, keeping its response measured and diplomatic.

Amid the ongoing controversy, Farhan Akhtar addressed the situation during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India. Without directly naming anyone, he said the industry teaches people to “expect the unexpected” and added that challenging phases are inevitable, but one must learn to handle them calmly and continue moving forward professionally.
