Ranveer Singh's father, Jagjit Singh Bhavnani, has approached the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) over the ongoing dispute surrounding Don 3. According to a report, he submitted a plea challenging Excel Entertainment's Rs 45 crore claim. IMPPA will now examine the documents and take action.
As per a report in India Today, Ranveer Singh's father, Jagjit Singh Bhavnani, met the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) on Tuesday and submitted a plea challenging Excel Entertainment's Rs 45 crore claim in the dispute over Don 3. IMPPA's legal team will review the documents and evidence before deciding on a fair resolution. IMPPA President Abhay Sinha confirmed the meeting, describing it as smooth, and said the association would take the next step after examining Ranveer's plea.
In May, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) had issued a 'Non-Cooperation Directive' against Ranveer following his abrupt exit from Farhan Akhtar's Don 3. As per the ban, more than 4 lakh film workers were instructed not to work with Ranveer. However, on June 3, FWICE decided to revoke the Non-Cooperation Directive against Ranveer. The decision came after the federation faced pressure from the industry. Additionally, Ranveer had also sent a notice to FWICE.
Amid the dispute, reports are rife that Ranveer has started shooting for the zombie thriller Pralay in Mumbai. Pralay is being made under the direction of Jai Mehta, known for his work on Lootere and Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story, which he co-directed with Hansal Mehta. Touted to be a zombie apocalypse thriller, the much-anticipated drama stars Lokah fame actress Kalyani Priyadarshan as the leading lady. Pralay will also be Ranveer's primary project after the phenomenal success of Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar 2. The drama will revolve around a relentless odyssey against the terrifying possibility of an end-of-the-world catastrophe.
Meanwhile, things are extremely exciting for Ranveer on the personal front as well, as he is all set to welcome his second child with wife Deepika Padukone. Ranveer and Deepika announced their second pregnancy in April this year. Making the exciting announcement on social media, the Bollywood couple uploaded a sweet photo of their daughter Dua holding a positive pregnancy test.
