As RGV hasn't replied to any of the notice, FWICE decided that non of its 32 unions will work with the filmmaker. In a statement, FWICE President BN Tiwari said, "We also sent a letter to the Chief Minister of Goa on September 10, 2020, regarding this. We wanted Ram Gopal Varma to clear the dues of poor technicians, artistes and workers but he never did. Hence, we have decided to not work with him in the future. We have also notified Indian Motion Pictures Producers' Association (IMPPA) and Producers Guild of India (GUILD), among other unions about this."
