Varma 'clears Deol debt after reports'

Ram Gopal Varma has paid Esha Deol her fee for Darling, according to Real Bollywood.

It was reported that Deol had complained to the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) because the director still owed her 1.3 million rupees (around £18,000) for her role in the 2007 movie.

Sources have now claimed that Varma agreed to pay the actress her fee after it was reduced to 700,000 rupees (around £9,000).

It has been suggested that Varma paid the fee after FWICE issued a non-cooperation matter against him and the shooting of his upcoming film Rakta Charitra was also stopped.
