What began as an unexpected professional tiff has now escalated into a full-blown industry standoff. After the release of Dhurandhar, Ranveer Singh exited Don 3, following which Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment issued him a notice seeking Rs 40 crore in damages. The Producers Guild of India informally addressed the tiff and has now suggested that both parties opt for the legal route to resolve the matter.
According to Variety India, “As an organisation, the Producers Guild of India can intervene only to a certain extent. With both parties standing firm, the guild members advised them to involve their legal teams and resolve the matter through the proper legal route.”
