A long-standing professional friendship between actor Ranveer Singh and filmmaker Farhan Akhtar has come apart after a bitter dispute over the latter’s upcoming film Don 3. The two have worked together in the past—most notably in the 2023 ensemble drama Dil Dhadakne Do—and were seen together at the Mumbai screening of 120 Bahadur as recently as last year. Yet, what began as a reported last-minute exit by Ranveer from Don 3 has now snowballed into one of the most acrimonious industry controversies in recent memory, involving a ₹40-45 crore compensation claim, the intervention of industry bodies, and a non-cooperation directive that threatens to isolate the actor across multiple crafts.
