The production banner, sources say, believes the actor should compensate the company for the damages incurred, which are reportedly as staggering as Rs 40 crore
Farhan Akhtar and Ranveer Singh announced Don 3 with a lot of fanfare and excitement two years back. But the blockbuster success of Dhurandhar has changed everything it seems. Post the iconic success of the film, it seems the leading man has a different outlook about the kind of film he should be a part of. He quit the film and another side of the story says he was ousted due to his demands.
The
Don 3 fiasco intensifies
A source on anonymity told Variety India, “Ranveer claims he left the project because he wasn’t happy with the script. He kept asking for changes to be made and didn’t like what the final draft read. Excel, on the other hand, claims that they went ahead with pre-production only after Singh gave his go ahead.”
The production banner, sources say, believes the actor should compensate the company for the damages incurred, which are reportedly as staggering as Rs 40 crore. An official statement from both the parties is awaited as the issue continues to intensify. The Producers Guild of India (PGI) is now likely to act as the mediator.
What an earlier source said
A source close to the development told Pinkvilla, “With Dhurandhar’s massive success, Ranveer is very clear about the kind of films he wants to do next. He is keen to collaborate with filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Lokesh Kanagaraj, and Atlee, and at the same time, he doesn’t want to be seen in back-to-back gangster films, especially since Dhurandhar is already established in that space. That’s one of the reasons he has asked Jai Mehta to prepone the shoot of Pralay. Ranveer is keen on fast-tracking the project and bringing it on floors sooner than planned.”
“Now that he has walked out of
Don 3, Singh is now personally involved in aligning dates and schedules for Jai Mehta’s film to ensure the film moves quickly,” the source added.
