Senior producer TP Aggarwal has filed a petition in the Bombay Civil Court at Dindoshi against FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees) and IMPPA (Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association) stating that no individual or organisation has the authority to impose a ban or issue a non-cooperation directive against members of the film industry.
Speaking in interview, Aggarwal mentioned that no one has the right to ban or send out such directives against anyone. The
filmmaker also added that he and filmmaker Vipul A Shah had in the past also filed a petition against such directive.
“They had no business to do this,” he said, adding that the first hearing for their petition against FWICE and IMPPA is tomorrow (June 2).
The petition comes on the heels of FWICE issuing a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh amid the actor’s dispute with Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment over his exit from Don 3.
