Manoj Kumar Wins Case Against Farah’s Om Shanti Om
Ace veteran Bollywood superstar Manoj Kumar wins the case against 2007’s blockbuster ‘Om Shanti Om.’
After getting a permanent ban order from the Dindoshi session’s court on the scenes in SRK-starrer Om Shanti Om that make fun of the legendary Manoj Kumar, the actor’s lawyer stated that they are also planning to file a criminal case against the makers of the film.
Advocate Ashok Saraogi stated, “We have won the case as the court has ordered a permanent injunction on the scenes which mock the actor. Now we are planning for a criminal case.”
Mr. Saraogi said they have decided to file a criminal suit against the director Farah Khan and producers Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan for intentionally insulting a person in public.
“We will be filing the case against the makers of the movie under sections 499 and 500 which says defaming a person advertently either through words, print, movies or any other medium is a criminal offence,” he said.
In his decision City Civil Court Judge D. R. Mahajan of Dindoshi Goregaon ordered the film producers and Sony Entertainment Television to cut the scenes before showing the movie on the channel.
