Producer TP Aggarwal Challenges FWICE Non-Cooperation Directive Against Ranveer Singh in Court
Veteran producer TP Aggarwal has filed a petition in the Bombay Civil Court challenging the Federation of Western India Cine Employees' (FWICE) non-cooperation directive against actor Ranveer Singh following his exit from Don 3. Aggarwal argues that no individual or trade body has legal authority to ban or restrict work with film personalities, citing potential impacts on livelihoods and creative freedom. FWICE clarified it issued a non-cooperation, not a ban. Notices have been served to FWICE and the Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association (IMPPA).
