Ram Gopal Varma Backs Ranveer Singh in Don 3 Row, Calls for a Ban on FWICE: ‘Pure Muscle Flexing by an Outdated System’

  • On Friday, May 29, 2026, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma publicly criticized the Federation of Western India Cine Employees for issuing a non-cooperation directive against actor Ranveer Singh.
  • The directive stems from a disagreement surrounding the film Don 3, though Varma argued such contractual disputes between two parties should remain private civil matters, not industry-wide debates.
  • Calling the body a "kangaroo court," Varma claimed the federation "disregards established legal rules" and verdicts are decided privately by agenda-oriented individuals rather than through due process.
  • Dismissing the move as "performative muscle flexing," Varma claimed the strategy would become a "BIG FAT JOKE," noting whether the union speaks for "over 5 lakh or 50 lakh" workers.
  • Industry workers' livelihoods are not tied to any single project, Varma asserted, claiming that if Ranveer "simply nods a yes," producers would queue with cheques ready immediately.
