Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh has been dominating headlines after FWICE issued a non-cooperation directive against the actor in connection with the Don 3 matter. The Federation held a press conference on May 25 where they claimed that he failed to respond to repeated requests to appear before the body and discuss the issue despite being sent three reminders. Hours after the ban was announced, Singh was spotted at Mumbai airport, early on Tuesday morning. The actor was headed to Chamundeshwari temple in Karnataka, fulfiling a court order in Kantara row.
Why Ranveer Singh visited Chamundeshwari temple?
Visuals of Ranveer Singh seeking blessings at the Chamundeshwari Temple in Mysuru, Karnataka, surfaced online on Tuesday. The visit comes weeks after the Karnataka High Court ordered the actor to visit the temple and apologise for allegedly mimicking the Daiva act at a public event in 2025.
In March, the court instructed Singh to visit the temple on Chamundi Hills and apologise to the deity in person. The actor agreed and even submitted a written apology before the court last month. The court accepted the apology and directed him to visit the temple within four weeks. Ranveer has now completed the visit within the stipulated time frame.

About Ranveer`s ban by FWICE
On Monday, FWICE issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer in connection with the Don 3 matter, claiming that he failed to respond to repeated requests to appear before the body and discuss the issue despite being sent three reminders.
The decision comes more than a month after Farhan Akhtar reportedly approached the federation with a complaint regarding Ranveer’s exit from Don 3, which was announced by Excel Entertainment in August 2023 with a teaser introducing the actor as the new Don.
According to reports, Farhan alleged in his complaint that Ranveer Singh withdrew from the project just three weeks before the film’s unit was scheduled to begin shooting, resulting in significant financial losses for the production house.
Ranveer Singh’s reply to FWICE directive
In a statement shared by the actor’s spokesperson, it was said, “Ranveer Singh holds the highest regard for the film fraternity and for everyone associated with the Don franchise. Throughout the recent developments surrounding Don 3, he has consciously chosen to maintain silence, believing that professional discussions and personal equations are best handled with dignity, maturity, and mutual respect.”
The statement further read, “While several narratives and speculations have surfaced over time, Ranveer has never considered it necessary to respond publicly or contribute to conjecture. His focus remains firmly on his work and the commitments ahead.”
The spokesperson also added that the actor has chosen to exercise “restraint” amid the Don 3 controversy.
