FWICE to respond to Ranveer Singh's legal notice amid ongoing Don 3 row; BN Tiwari says 'we never wanted to pull down a superstar'
The dispute between Ranveer Singh and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees ( FWICE ) appears to be softening, with the federation confirming that it will respond to the legal notice sent by the actor's team while continuing efforts to resolve the matter amicably.
FWICE president BN Tiwari said the federation has decided to withdraw its non-cooperation directive against Ranveer and place its trust in industry bodies to help settle the issue through dialogue.
FWICE says it will respond through legal channelsAddressing the legal notice received from Ranveer's representatives, Tiwari said the federation would handle the matter through proper legal procedures.
"Everyone has a legal team. They have sent us a notice and our legal team will respond. We will continue to deal with the matter legally. But since we feel the issue is moving towards a solution, we have taken a step back and put our faith in the producer bodies and industry representatives," he told Hindustan Times.
The statement comes amid efforts by various industry stakeholders to de-escalate tensions surrounding the controversy linked to Ranveer and Don 3 .
'We never wanted to pull down a superstar'Tiwari maintained that FWICE's actions were never intended to harm the actor's career.
"Actually, we thought that once we issued the non-cooperation directive, they would come forward and talk to us. But I feel his team misguided him. Their letter said that we do not come under your jurisdiction. He is an artist and a member of CINTAA , and CINTAA is affiliated with the federation. So we had to take action," he said.
He added, "We never wanted to pull down a superstar. We never wanted to stop him from moving forward. He is a successful actor and we have to think about that too. We have no personal interest in this matter. We work for our workers and technicians."
Producer bodies helped pave the wayAccording to Tiwari, discussions with industry organisations, including producer bodies, played a key role in the federation's decision to withdraw the directive.
