Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar have locked horns over the actor's sudden exit from Don 3. The third chapter of one of the most anticipated Bollywood franchises was announced in August 2023. At the time, social media users sparked a massive backlash against Singh taking over the Son legacy from Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, accusing him of not being fit for the role. Years later, now that the movie has reached a stalemate, the same netizens are rallying behind Ranveer Singh, unanimously pronouncing him not guilty. The shift happened post the success of the Dhurandhar franchise.

Don 3 was officially announced in August 2023 and would have been the first fronted by Ranveer Singh. The announcement triggered major backlash with netizens sceptical of the actor filling in the shoes of those who portrayed the role before him. At the time, they argued that Singh does not have what it takes to play the serious, broody part that the movie's protagonist is associated with.

The row escalated quickly with FWICE coming down heavy on Ranveer Singh. While the actor and producer have refrained from making public comments, the film's body has issued a non-cooperative directive against Singh. A ban has been placed on Ranveer, and no member of the film body will work with him until the issue is mutually resolved.
