Mumbai, February 9 - Bollywood star Ranveer Singh's exit from the much-awaited action drama Don 3 has put the actor at the loggeheads with Excel Entertainment. The studio has reportedly suffered heavy losses after the film was put into backburner due to the actor's sudden exit from the project. According to the report by Variety India, Excel Entertainment has demanded 40 crore as compensation for the losses it suffered.

Ranveer Singh, however, is pushing back strongly, maintaining that he is not liable to pay any amount to Excel. Report says that Ranveer Singh has argued that he has previously stepped away from projects without such compensation demands being raised, and that the current situation should not be treated differently. The actor reportedly wasn't happy with the script, which led to his departure from the high-profile project.
