Ranveer Singh was struggling but Don 3 makers waited until Dhurandhar worked, claims Ammy Virk

Punjabi actor and singer Ammy Virk has come out in support of Ranveer Singh amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Don 3. Speaking about the dispute, Ammy suggested that the actor was not at fault and recalled conversations that took place during the making and release of the Dhurandhar franchise.

The row began after reports claimed that Excel Entertainment sought Rs 45 crore from Ranveer Singh for allegedly stepping away from Don 3 shortly before production was scheduled to begin. While the matter remains unresolved, Ammy questioned the criticism directed at the actor and said he believes Ranveer acted in good faith.

During an interview with Connect Cine, Ammy said he was not aware of all the details of the disagreement but felt confident that Ranveer could not be entirely blamed. Referring to the compensation demand, he remarked, “Not Ranveer’s fault, who will give them Rs 45 crore?” He further added that such legal disputes often drag on for years and rarely reach a quick conclusion.

Ammy also spoke about a personal conversation he had with Ranveer after the trailer of the first Dhurandhar film was released. According to him, Ranveer sent a lengthy message and spoke about the effort he had put into the project. Recalling the exchange, Ammy said, “He told me that I have invested everything in this film.”

The actor then shared how he encouraged Ranveer at the time. “I told him to wait and see and said that his daughter has brought him good luck and god was going to be kind. And that’s what happened. His daughter brought him such good luck,” he said.

Ranveer and Deepika Padukone welcomed their daughter Dua in September 2024. Ammy revealed that he again spoke to Ranveer before the release of the second Dhurandhar film and reminded him of his earlier prediction. “See, your daughter brought such good luck,” he recalled telling the actor.

Meanwhile, reports suggest Don 3 faced delays and disagreements over the script. Ranveer is now expected to move ahead with his next project, Pralay, directed by Jay Mehta, while discussions around Don 3 continue within the industry.
