Ram Gopal Varma is returning to Mumbai’s underworld with Police Company, headlined by Harshvardhan Rane as Daya Nayak. Inspired by the Mumbai Police’s crackdown on organised crime, the film revisits the violent period following the Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Rajan split. However, the film faced trouble as its shoot was halted over non-payment of dues to workers.

RGV’s Police Company shoot halted over dues

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) members halted the shoot of Ram Gopal Varma’s upcoming crime thriller Police Company over unpaid dues to technicians and crew members. The film was being shot at a set in Versova, where production remained stalled for nearly five hours as the federation sought clearance of the outstanding payments. According to TOI, the dispute stemmed from dues that have reportedly remained unpaid for nearly nine years and relate to three of Ram Gopal Varma’s earlier films. Later, RGV transferred Rs 1.11 crore, and the shoot was resumed.
