Ranveer Singh to Diljit Dosanjh, actors who faced ban from film bodies

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) recently issued a non-cooperative directive against actor Ranveer Singh, after his abrupt exit from Farhan Akhtar's Don 3. Interestingly, such 'non-cooperative directives' or bans are not new in the Indian film industry. Before Ranveer Singh, several Indian celebrities have faced similar plights from different film bodies.
