FWICE’s non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh sparked widespread debate across the film industry and social media. The order has now been withdrawn, leading to celebrations among fans. Many believe that targeted criticism against a rising star will not affect his long-term career.
Although the controversy has ended, public attention has once again shifted to Don 3. Many people are questioning why a film announced long ago has taken more than two years to enter production. Recent insider claims suggest that the project was developed around Ranveer for nearly 32 months.
The initial recasting decision faced criticism from a section of fans. However, the situation appeared to improve over time. A few months ago, Ranveer reportedly began action training after Excel shared a schedule in August last year, with filming expected to begin in early 2026.
According to a source, these developments indicate that the film was ready to move forward and did not require additional approvals. Significant investments had reportedly already been made. Ranveer’s alleged exit is said to have happened just three days after a scheduled look test was cancelled.
Several online users have urged Ranveer to publicly address the matter. Some believe the situation could be part of a strategy by producers to place pressure on the actor’s career. Others feel that the complete truth may emerge in the coming months or even years.
A section of social media users has alleged that the makers may not have finalised a proper production schedule. Some also accused Farhan of not giving enough attention to the project after its official announcement. These claims continue to fuel discussions around the film’s future.
At present, there is no confirmation on whether Don 3 will eventually go on floors. However, speculation continues to grow about the possibility of SRK returning to the iconic role. Any final decision remains entirely in the hands of the makers.
