RGV does a fraud?

Now that is a serious accusation when it comes to RGV, but being a creative man, he has been criticized so earlier as well. The latest one is quite serious as the complainant has lodged a complaint with the Mumbai Police against the ace director Ram Gopal Varma, claiming that his latest project 'Department' is being picturized without paying proper remuneration to the script writer. The complaint was made by writer Danish Raza. With the movie about to be released soon, this case can seriously affect its screening.

The writer, Danish Raza says that around June-July 2010, one Neeraj Sharma from Ramu's office contacted him to write screenplay of Department. "I met them, they looked at some of my scripts, liked my work and asked me to start work on the film," says Danish. He started with the draft of the story and after many meetings sent the first draft on July 19, 2010, "which was okayed". 

"I further started work on the screenplay... Ramu worked on some scenes and we had a discussion like the normal creative process. My fee was fixed but all along, I kept asking for the contract. But they kept dilly-dallying. As a result, I stopped work and they sent me a soft copy of the contract via mail. Now I felt that they will sign the contract and I kept waiting for the hard copy which never happened and they stopped taking my calls," says Danish. 

In Feb 2011, the writer says, Neeraj told him that Department was shelved due to fund issues and that Ramu has got busy with his next project, Not A Love Story. "I stopped pursuing for my payment since I felt it was now futile and I left for Delhi for my other project. But later some time I saw that the promos and stills of the movie were out. I came back to Mumbai and filed a police complaint on May 7," says Danish. "I have got all the evidence, copies of all the mails exchanged and contract mails they sent me. Then I have also got the hard copy of the script with corrections in Ramu's handwriting," the writer added. The contract is under Dream Force Enterprise.

With these claims in hand, the police investigation has started out. When the daily caught up with RGV he says he is unaware of any such writer, "I am busy mixing these days a I don't have the memory of coming across any such person. I meet at least five writers everyday. I have no idea, my office deals with all this." says RGV in his usual style.

With coming days, the case will harden its grip and hopefully we wish that this get settled and Deparment do roll out on to screens.
