A lot has been happening in Bollywood, starting from the ‘Boycott Bollywood’ trend on Twitter to celebrities getting trolled for their comments – there is hardly any peace in B-town at this moment. Another legal controversy has erupted in the industry, this time involving actor Akshay Kumar and his upcoming film, Ram Setu.
The action-adventure drama Ram Setu centres on an archaeologist determining whether Ram Setu is a myth or an actual location. BJP MP Subramanian Swamy accused the ‘Mumbai cinema [or is it sin-e-ma] wallas” of ‘falsifying and misappropriation’ and confirmed that he has issued a ‘Legal Notice to Cine Actor Akshay Kumar(Bhatia) and his 8 others for distorting Ram Setu saga’.
He took to his official Twitter account and wrote, “Mumbai cinema [or is it sin-e-ma] wallas have a bad habit of falsifying and misappropriation. Hence to teach them Intellectual Property Rights, I have through Satya Sabharwal Adv issued Legal Notice to Cine Actor Akshay Kumar(Bhatia) and his 8 others for distorting Ram Setu saga. “
In a series of tweets, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy accused Akshay Kumar and the producers of undermining the portrayal of Ram Setu. He tweeted a few days back, “The suit for compensation has been finalised by my associate Satya Sabharwal Adv. I am suing Akshay Kumar, actor & Karma Media for damages cause by falsification in portrayal of the Ram Setu issue in their film for release.”
He talked about Akshay’s citizenship and said, “If Actor Akshay Kumar is a foreign citizen then we can ask he be arrested and evicted his adopted country.”
On the work front, Akshay was last seen in Raksha Bandhan, which didn’t perform well at the box office. He also faced criticism for the movie. The actor now has a couple of other movies in hand other than Ram Setu. His upcoming films include Mission Cinderella and OMG2.
