FWICE backs off Ranveer “ban”
Industry truce, not a verdict: FWICE withdraws its non‑cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh “with immediate effect” after IMPPA steps in. The dispute moves to talks; the facts stay under wraps.
The directive was withdrawn and the dispute moved to talks.
FWICE has withdrawn its non‑cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh with immediate effect, crediting the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA) for “timely intervention” and nudges from other guilds. That is the on‑record development; it is not a finding that anyone was right or wrong. According to FWICE’s statement reproduced in multiple reports, the concerns will now be addressed with all parties through dialogue.
FWICE president B.N. Tiwari said the decision followed requests and support from IMPPA, the Producers Guild of India and CINTAA. Another line from the federation tried to frame it as a cooling‑off, not a climbdown: “there is neither anyone’s victory nor anyone’s defeat in this.” Which is one way to end a row without answering it.
Most coverage has linked the flare‑up to reports around Don 3, but the available statements don’t settle who did what, whether any loss was incurred, or whether a settlement exists. What is settled is this: the directive is gone, work with Singh can proceed, and the industry prefers harmony over a public scrap. A rare moment when Mumbai fixes Mumbai without waiting for a sermon from the BJP in Delhi or a grandstanding committee in the Congress—no press conference, no chest‑thumping, just back to work.
