The source however was unable to reveal the exact percentage of stake offered. At the moment, details pertaining to the film’s exact budget and development are still being planned or under wraps. The insider further added, “However, just the fact that Ranveer has shown so much grace is good enough to make him a fair player in the industry. Like they say in fairy tales, all is well that ends well.”

Don 3 Controversy

Two years ago, Excel Entertainment announced Ranveer Singh as the main lead of Don 3 with an intense promo. Since then, there had been little to no update on the project. In the last few months, tension between Singh and Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment arouse after the actor exited the highly anticipated film.

The fallout became a topic of public discussion following reports of script disagreements and production delays. It was previously reported that the makers were seeking Rs 40 crore in compensation, citing pre-production expenses, scheduling changes and related losses. The production house maintained that groundwork had been completed with Ranveer’s approval.

However, Ranveer reportedly walked away from the project due to dissatisfaction with the script, the absence of a bound script and concerns over the project’s management. As the matter escalated, the Producers Guild of India intervened in the mediation.

Talking about Pralay, the upcoming Ranveer Singh starrer is said to be a post-apocalyptic zombie thriller. The big budget flick is directed by Jai Mehta and is being produced under Singh’s label Maa Kasam Films. The film is reportedly being made on a massive budget of around Rs 300 crore.
