In a fresh twist surrounding the Don 3 row between actor Ranveer Singh and actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar, a truce seems to have been called.

After walking out of the film and Farhan claiming losses over recce and pre-production work, Ranveer has decided to return his signing amount of Rs. 10 crore to the production house Excel Entertainment, as per a Free Press Journal report.

To compensate for the pre-production amount spent by the producers, Ranveer has reportedly also offered a stake in his next film, tentatively titled Pralay. Details of the arrangement, including the size of the stake, remain undisclosed for now.

We reached out to both parties for a comment or clarification on the matter, but received no response till the time of going to press. htc

It all started in December last year, when Ranveer walked out of Don 3 after the release of Dhurandhar, and Farhan demanded Rs. 40 crore as compensation for the pre-production costs. He also claimed Ranveer had approved the script at every stage.

Meanwhile, Ranveer was upset about Don 3 being put on the backburner over his career slump. The issue was escalated with members of the Producers’ Guild stepping in to mediate, including Karan Johar, Hrithik Roshan, Rajkumar Hirani, Zoya Akhtar, Sajid Nadiadwala, Ramesh Taurani, Kumar Mangat, and Amritpal Singh Bindra.
