You hurt workers, not stars: Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta criticises FWICE ban on Ranveer Singh

Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta has questioned the Federation of Western India Cine Employees’ (FWICE) decision to impose a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh following the actor’s abrupt exit from Don 3. Reacting to the controversy on X, Gupta argued that such decisions hurt film workers more than stars



themselves.

“When an A List Hero shoots there are more than 300 workers working on sets. Ban him and you are not stopping him but depriving the workers of their livelihood. What sense does it even make???” Gupta wrote on Monday. His remarks came shortly after FWICE publicly announced its action against Ranveer during a press conference.
