4 min readMumbaiJun 3, 2026 06:08 PM IST The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) on Wednesday lashed out at Ram Gopal Varma days after the filmmaker slammed the film body for issuing a “non-cooperation directive” against Ranveer Singh. The FWICE maintained that they’ve always catered to the interests of their 5 lakh plus members, and flagged that Varma is yet to pay over Rs 1 crore outstanding dues to workers from a 2018 project. ‘RGV owes over a Rs 1 crore’ “We’re all fans of Ram Gopal Varma, his technique, and his filmmaking. With due respect, he wrote a long tweet jismei humari dhajjiyan udayi (where he insulted us). It’s a democracy, anyone can say wherever they want, but we want to say today that he owes over a Rs 1 crore to technicians and workers since 2017,” said Ashoke Pandit, Chief Advisor to FWICE, while addressing the media. The outstanding dues to workers are from Varma’s 2018 Telugu action film Officer, headlined by Nagarjuna. “We kept trying to get him to pay …

2002 was the year of Devdas and Company: Bhansali baroque vs RGV’s grit | Bollywood News

It was the year of Devdas, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s shiny reworking of the Devdas saga, with Shah Rukh Khan playing the titular role, accompanied by Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit. At the opposite end of of the spectrum, layered with grime and grit, was Ram Gopal Varma’s Company, a spiritual successor of RGV’s Satya, which upturned the way Bollywood told the gangster story.

The buzz around Bhansali’s iteration of Devdas, funded by one of Bollywood’s then fave jeweller-financier Bharat Shah, told us to expect everything the filmmaker was known for, and more: big stars, opulent sets, even more opulent costumes — the weight of Aishwarya and Madhuri’s lehengas in their ‘Dola Re’ dance-off became a talking point — and, of course, SRK in full-male-lover-victimhood mode.
