Rakhi Sawant has reacted to the ongoing controversy Ranveer Singh and Don 3, strongly defending the actor, targeting FWICE and the filmmaker Farhan Akhtar.The controversy erupted following reports that the Federation of West Indian Film Workers (FWICE) had issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer after he pulled out of Don 3. As the issue continues to stir controversy in the film industry, Rakhi has now expressed her support for the actor.
“Ranveer par har banda jalta hai,” says Rakhi
Speaking to paparazzi in Mumbai on Tuesday evening, Rakhi questioned why Ranveer Singh was being singled out and said the actor was being targeted for his success.“Main condemn karti hoon. Jin logon ne Ranveer ko ban kiya hai… mujhe bahut gussa aa raha hai. Kyunki woh superstar hai, Ranveer par har banda jalta hai. Inke pichwade mein takat hai toh Salman Khan ko ban karke dikhaye, mere bhai ko. Ek ek ko uda kar Salman bhai band baja dega. Ranveer apni mehnat se aaya hai, Deepika Padukone aur Ranveer dono apni mehnat se aaye hain,” he said.
Rakhi says that Farhan Akhtar is using Ranveer’s name for publicity
Rakhi also took digs at Farhan Akhtar, who is backing Don 3 under his production banner, alleging that the filmmaker was cashing in on the publicity surrounding Ranveer’s name.“Salman Khan ko aise log ban karke dikhaye, woh bata denge. FWICE, aap log humare Ranveer se jalte ho kyunki unhone lagatar superhit filmein di hain. Aap mein dum hai toh Salman ko touch karke batao, woh tumhari dega. Farhan Akhtar tumhari dega. Ranveer ke naam par publicity nikal raha hai aur woh dikh gaya hai,” Rakhi added.

After Shah Rukh Khan starred in the previous two films, Ranveer Singh was announced as the new face of Don 3.In recent weeks, however, the project has been surrounded by controversy amid disagreements between Ranveer Singh and the makers over the future of the film.
