Ranveer Singh's defence against Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's Rs 45 crore claim has intensified, with his legal team asserting that the Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association (IMPPA) should remain impartial in the dispute. At a meeting held on August 18, Singh's lawyers presented a letter asserting that IMPPA lacked the authority to adjudicate the matter, threatening legal action if the association were to pass a resolution against him.
The controversy began when Akhtar and Sidhwani approached the association, allegedly seeking Rs 45 crore in damages for the actor's departure from 'Don 3'. Initially scheduled for August 14, the meeting was postponed after Singh's legal team submitted a detailed response, clarifying that they had an MoU with Excel Entertainment, not a formal agreement.
The issue was raised again on August 18, with Singh's legal team once more challenging IMPPA's jurisdiction and maintaining that the matter should be settled in court. IMPPA's president, Abhay Sinha, confirmed that both sides had presented their arguments, but the association's legal team is now examining the issue before deciding on a resolution.
