The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) announced on Wednesday that it was withdrawing its non-cooperation directive against actor Ranveer Singh, which stemmed from his departure from Don 3. Addressing a press conference, the film body maintained that the decision was not influenced by the legal notice sent by the actor on Tuesday. Instead, it said the move was made following requests from other industry bodies and in the larger interest of the film industry. Among those present at the press conference was CINTAA General Secretary and actor Upasana Singh, who voiced her support for Ranveer and praised the success of his recent two-part spy actioner Dhurandhar. 'Ranveer Singh has revived the film industry' Upasana said, "Ranveer Singh is one of the actors who has helped revive the industry. At a time when several films have struggled at the box office and the industry has been going through a difficult phase, Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar 2 have achieved remarkable business and created history. We need more actors whose films audiences genuinely enjoy watching." Sharing a personal anecdote, she added, "My son has watched Dhurandhar five times and is still willing to watch it again. That's the kind of impact the film has had." She further stressed the importance of successful films in sustaining the livelihoods of thousands associated with the industry. "We need more films like these. Our best wishes are with Ranveer Singh, and we hope he continues to deliver successful films. When a film works, it generates employment and income for countless people connected to the industry. For us, he has truly been a 'Dhurandhar'," she said.
