Ranveer Singh and Excel Entertainment clash over Rs 40 crores after Don 3 exit: Report February 10, 2026 at 12:30PM

A financial dispute has emerged between Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh and Don 3 producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment following Singh’s reported exit from the much-anticipated action thriller. The production house is seeking compensation of Rs 40 crores for alleged losses incurred after the actor stepped away from the project.

The conflict has taken an industry spotlight not over box office performance, but over costs associated with pre-production. Sources cited in a report by Variety India indicate that Excel Entertainment claims it invested heavily in early stages of development — including scheduling, location planning and hiring crew — based on Ranveer Singh’s commitment to play the lead role.

Ranveer Singh is said to strongly contest the demand. According to the report, he argues he should not be held financially responsible for leaving the project. “Ranveer claims he left the project because he wasn’t happy with the script. He kept asking for changes to be made and didn’t like what the final draft read,” the report quoted, while noting that Excel maintained pre-production moved ahead only after Singh had given his approval.

The report further stated that several heads of departments were released from their roles and asked to seek alternative work, a move the production house attributes to the financial setback. This element of the dispute underscores the broader impact such disagreements can have on film crews and production timelines.

A two-hour meeting between representatives of Ranveer Singh and Excel was held last Friday to resolve differences, but sources told reporters that no agreement was reached. With tensions persisting, the Producers Guild of India (PGI) has stepped in to mediate between the parties in hopes of finding common ground and preventing further escalation.

Neither Ranveer Singh nor Excel Entertainment has issued an official statement on the matter as of this writing. The dispute comes at a time when Singh is preparing for the release of Dhurandhar: Part 2, while Excel still evaluates its slate following delays to Don 3.
