Why Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar had a fallout?

Ranveer Singh is currently basking in the spectacular success of Dhurandhar, which made a historic run in the theaters. Ahead of the second installment, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, Ranveer Singh was embroiled in a dispute with Farhan Akhtar. The heated clash kickstarted when Ranveer Singh announced his exit from Farhan Akhtar’s Don 3. In 2023, Ranveer was introduced in the title teaser of Don 3. In a series of events, the makers allegedly accused Ranveer of the losses they faced and sought a compensation of Rs 40 crore for the same. 

However, the Dhurandhar star defied all the claims and said that he is not liable to pay anything because of the uncertain nature of the film business, where films get shelved or actors get replaced. He also accused the Don 3 makers of dilly-dallying the project as they looked for other actors to replace him. Big names like Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan were also in the headlines for their alleged involvement in the film.
