The dispute between Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar stems from the former's exit from 'Don 3' in December 2025 after committing to the movie years ago. Reportedly, Ranveer cited changes in the script as the reason for leaving it. Farhan and his producing partner Ritesh Sidhwani claimed they incurred losses upto ₹45 crore due to pre-production of the film.
