Ammy questioned the timing of the producers' demand, noting it came after Ranveer's success with the Dhurandhar franchise, and suggested the actor should not pay such a large amount.

Ammy Virk has publicly expressed support for Ranveer Singh amid a contractual dispute with Excel Entertainment over Don 3. The producers are seeking Rs 45 crore in damages, alleging that Ranveer exited the film just weeks before production was scheduled to begin. Ammy questioned the timing of the demand, suggesting that Excel Entertainment ignored Ranveer during his less successful period but pursued compensation after his recent box-office success with Dhurandhar. He argued that Ranveer should not be expected to pay such a large sum and expressed skepticism about legal action resolving the matter. The dispute escalated when FWICE issued a non-cooperation directive against Ranveer for allegedly failing to respond to requests to discuss the matter, though this directive was later withdrawn following mediation by industry bodies including the Producers Guild of India and CINTAA.
