From Ranveer Singh To Diljit Dosanjh: Famous Celebrities Who Faced FWICE Action

Ranveer Singh is currently facing a non-cooperation directive from Federation of Western India Cine Employees after he reportedly exited Don 3 just days before shooting, leading producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani to claim heavy financial losses. While FWICE has asked industry members not to work with him until the issue is resolved, Ranveer’s team maintains that the matter is contractual and should be handled legally, not by the union. 

In 2025, Diljit Dosanjh faced backlash after his film Sardaar Ji 3 featured Pakistani actress Hania Aamir amid the Pahalgam terror attack controversy. FWICE objected to the collaboration and issued a non-cooperation order against him. Later, producer Bhushan Kumar reportedly stepped in and requested the federation to reconsider its decision to prevent any impact on Border 2. 

In 2021, Gauahar Khan faced a 60-day suspension from FWICE after she was accused of violating COVID-19 quarantine rules by continuing a shoot despite testing positive. The issue was later resolved on a personal level, following which the suspension was withdrawn. 

Kartik Aaryan also found himself caught in controversy after receiving a warning letter from FWICE over his alleged association with a Pakistani restaurant event. However, the actor’s team quickly denied the claims, clarifying that he was neither involved nor present at the event, and urged organisers to remove any promotional material linking his name to it. 

In 2019, Mika Singh faced strict action from FWICE after performing at a wedding in Karachi, Pakistan, reportedly linked to relatives of Pervez Musharraf. The federation strongly opposed his participation and sought a ban on him and his team. Mika later issued a public apology, following which the restrictions were lifted. 

According to reports, Chunky Panday revealed that during a 1986 industry-wide strike called by FWICE, he was briefly banned from shooting for the film Aag Hi Aag. He shared that while some producers continued filming despite the strike, he alone faced action, whereas co-stars Shatrughan Sinha and Dharmendra were spared due to their star status. However, the ban lasted only for a week.
