T P Aggarwal On Supporting Ranveer Singh Following FWICE's Ban In Don 3 Row: 'Woh Gundagardi Karenge Toh...'

Veteran producer T P Aggarwal filed a petition in court against FWICE’s non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh, and now, in a fresh interview, he has spoken about the matter and shared that he is planning to make a film with Ranveer Singh. He also said that he does not agree with the orders that FWICE has passed against the Dhurandhar star.

Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, T P Aggarwal shared that when he was the president of IMPPA, he had received a judgment from the Competition Commission of India (CCI) which clearly stated that they cannot take such decisions or enter into any premises. He further added, “Meanwhile, I was planning to make a film and was thinking of talking to Sanjay Dutt and Ranveer Singh. This is when I learned about

the non-cooperation directive against Ranveer Singh.”

Speaking about why he has a problem with the decision, he added, “You want to make sure that the actor gets work anywhere. Aise toh aap sabki rozi roti khatam kar doge. This is when I decided to approach the court.”

Speaking about whether he had been approached by FWICE following the court case, he laughed and shared, “They should have contacted me before they made this decision. After all, they know me well and they are aware that I am an ex-president of IMPPA. Agar woh gundagardi karke apni power dikhayenge, aise toh nahin chalega na? They cannot do that.”

Sharing whether he has spoken to Singh on this matter, T P Aggarwal concluded, “No, I didn’t. I have not taken this step so that Ranveer should come and talk to me. I don’t need that publicity.”

TP Aggarwal Moves Court Against FWICE Directive

T P Aggarwal, who served as IMPPA president for 17 years and also headed the Film Federation of India four times, said such actions can have serious consequences for people’s work and creative rights.

He pointed out that attempts to discourage people from collaborating with someone should not be treated casually. “Such actions can have far-reaching consequences for livelihoods and creative freedom,” he said, adding that matters of this nature must be handled legally.

After FWICE’s directive triggered a major debate, the federation’s chief advisor Ashoke Pandit clarified that it was not a ban. Speaking to ETimes, he said, “The entire conversation has become wrong. It’s not a ban. We are not a court; we can’t ban people. Hence, we have issued a non-cooperation directive.”
