Ranveer Singh Settles Don 3 Exit with Excel Entertainment

Actor Ranveer Singh has reached an amicable settlement with Excel Entertainment, the production house led by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwa ni, over his abrupt exit from the upcoming film Don 3, according to industry reports. As part of the agreement, Singh is returning his signing amount of approximately 10 crore rupees and offering the company a stake in his next project, tentatively titled Pralay, though the exact percentage remains undisclosed.

The dispute emerged in late 2025, shortly after the commercial success of Singh's action film Dhurandhar, which bolstered his standing in Bollywood. Singh stepped away from Don 3, the third installment in the long-running franchise originally starring Amitabh Bachchan and later Shah Rukh Khan, citing creative differences. Reports indicate his concerns centered on the lack of a fully developed script, production delays, and issues with project management. Excel Entertainment, which had invested heavily in pre-production with Singh's initial approval, sought around 40 crore rupees in compensation to cover scheduling disruptions and related expenses.
