Ranveer calls Excel unprofessional
Ranveer Singh recently stepped away from one of the most anticipated projects, 'Don 3', directed by Farhan Akhtar and backed by Excel Entertainment. Following Singh’s exit from the film, Excel reportedly sought hefty compensation of Rs 40 crore from the actor.
The source told Bollywood Hungama, “Ranveer blamed Excel Entertainment for unprofessionalism and not being serious about taking 'Don 3' on floors. He stated that Farhan Akhtar never had a bound script in place and that, as an actor, he prefers to work only with fully developed material."
“Ranveer also pointed out that Farhan was never open to feedback on the script... He further alleged that Excel was exploring the possibility of getting Hrithik Roshan on board and only re-approached him after the success of Dhurandhar, to capitalize on his momentum," the source added.
