T-Series Files FIR Against Filmmaker Ram Gopal Verma

- Abid           Let us know what you think about this story

Mr. Ram Gopal Verma had entered into a contract assigning Super Cassettes Industries Limited (T-Series) Music Rights for 14 of his forthcoming films in June 2006. The said contract was duly performed and acted upon by both the parties and since then four out of the said 14 films namely 'Darwaza Bandh Rakho', 'Nishabd' and 'Shiva'have been released by T-Series. The company had also made payments for the same and had also made advance payments for forthcoming films by Mr. Ram Gopal Varma.

Mr Verma had tried to terminate the said contract in November 2007 on grounds that were not acceptable to T-Series. Realizing that Mr. Verma was acting unreasonable, T-SERIES in order to secure its interest and rights under the said contract moved the District Court of Noida, Uttar Pradesh on 23-1-2008. On 23-1-2008 the Honourable Court issued notice against RGV Film Factory Private Limited and RGV Films Private Limited and issued summons asking them to appear and defend the suit.

Instead of adressing the case against him RGV has been going to press claiming that documents are forged and fabricated. He has not specified exactly which document is forged and fabricated. How can an agreement for 14 films which stands acted upon in respect of 4 films suddenly become forged or fabricated in respect of remaining films.

RGV had firstly filed a complaint with Jt. Commissioner Police (EOW), Mumbai and recently filed another compliant at the Versova police station as reported by the media.

Looking at the behavior of RGV and his acts in the past, SCIL has realized his design to cheat SCIL and has been constrained to file a criminal complaint in the police station.
