The issue between Ranveer and Excel Entertainment has grown in recent months. Reports say Ranveer tried to settle the matter earlier this year. A meeting was held in March with many senior people from the film world. His team wanted to end the fight in a smooth way.During that meeting, Ranveer’s team gave a clear offer to Excel. They said they will pay 10 crore upfront to the company. They also said Ranveer will take a 25 crore fee cut for any other film with Excel, not Don 3. The plan was to give quick money and keep the door open for future films. But Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani said no to the deal.Excel felt that the delays and sudden exit caused them big loss. They had spent time and money on pre-production work for Don 3. The team said trust was broken and they do not want to work with Ranveer again. On the other side, Ranveer’s team was upset that Excel looked at other actors when he was going through a low phase. Hrithik Roshan’s name also came up for the role, which hurt Ranveer’s camp.Ranveer was not sure about the Don 3 script after Dhurandhar. He wanted full support and belief from the director and the banner. He felt Excel did not back him when he needed it most. That is why he walked away. Now FWICE has issued a non-cooperation order against him. The film is on hold and the team may look for a new lead. The next steps from both sides will decide the future of Don 3. &nbsp;

Ranveer Singh is planning to start work on his zombie film Pralay despite the FWICE ban. The film will be directed by Jai Mehta and produced by Maa Kasam Films, True Story Films, and Birla Studios. Shooting is set to begin in August. The project needs around 500 people from action, lighting, costume, art, makeup, and spot teams. Ranveer is also linked to Aditya Dhar’s film on Chandragupta Maurya. The current ban has put both films in doubt.If the ban stays, the Pralay team may hire non-FWICE workers. Reports say they can take the cast and crew and shoot anywhere in India. FWICE rules apply only to its members. So the makers can work with local crews from other unions outside Mumbai. This way the film can move ahead without delay. Many small crews across India are not part of FWICE.FWICE advisor Ashoke Pandit says the group is strong because it has 34 vendor bodies under it. He feels the issue can be solved only if all sides meet and talk. The Don 3 problem is still active. Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani say Ranveer left the film just three weeks before shoot. The company had already spent close to 45 crore on pre-production. With Don 3 on hold, Ranveer wants to keep Pralay on track.Pralay is said to be a big budget thriller with heavy VFX and action. The story deals with a zombie outbreak in a city. The team has been planning the shoot for months. Ranveer has also started physical training for the role. If the ban is not lifted, more films may look at non-FWICE options. For now, the makers are waiting to see how talks go in the next few weeks.
