Ram Gopal Varma to helm web series D Company

Ram Gopal Varma web series D Company
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma is all set to present the “ultimate chronicle of the Mumbai Underworld” through a web series titled D Company.
On Thursday, RGV announced his web series titled D Company. He wrote on Facebook, “After a long hiatus me and Madhu Mantena team up to make a web series titled D COMPANY. It is going to be the ultimate chronicle of the Mumbai Underworld. My research on the subject matter of D Company came from my extensive interactions over the last 20 years with gangsters to encounter cops to middlemen of the underworld and also many film people who were involved with the underworld.”
He also mentioned that the series will not be only about Dawood Ibrahim but also about the growth of D Company. “The series will not be a biopic of just Dawood Ibrahim but that of the entire D Company from its initiation to its growth as the most dreaded organisation in the entire criminal history of India. The series of D COMPANY will showcase the rise of Dawood Ibrahim from being just a small-time hoodlum to how he overthrew the Pathan gang and then after shifting to Dubai, how he gave it a glamorous and corporate look by mixing up with the high and mighty including film stars,” he added.
Divulging more details about it, he continued, “It will also deal with the Babri masjid collapse induced terrible riots of 1992 leading to the 1993 serial bomb blasts and then their aftermath by the end of which Chota Rajan broke up to declare war on Dawood. From then on it deals with how that break up caused a lot of other gangs to stake their claim for the top spot creating a massive outburst of criminal activities in the late 90s.”
The shooting for D Company will start soon and the filmmaker will also announce the cast in coming days. Revealing about his research, RGV wrote, “I have been collecting data on the underworld not from now, but from the mid-90s onwards even before I made SATYA and COMPANY. The script has been locked and shooting will start very soon ..it will have at least 5 seasons of 10 episodes each.”
Ram Gopal Varma has made a full-length feature film Company on the same subject in 2002. The film starred Vivek Oberoi, Mohanlal, Ajay Devgn, Manisha Koirala, and Antara Mali in pivotal roles.

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as  Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother  Sunny Deol  was already the  dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
