Ammy backs Ranveer in Don 3 controversy
In the same interview, Ammy publicly supported Ranveer amid the ongoing controversy surrounding his exit from Don 3.Speaking about the dispute between Ranveer and Excel Entertainment, Ammy questioned why the producers were demanding Rs 45 crore from the actor after the success of Dhurandhar.“I feel, when he had a few flops, then you could have started Don 3. Then they ignored him. Now that Dhurandhar is a hit, they are asking for their money back,” he said, arguing that Ranveer should not be expected to pay the reported compensation amount.
