Veteran Hindi actor Manoj Kumar has said that he will sure Shah Rukh Khan and Eros International to the tune of Rs. 100 crores for releasing the movie ‘Om Shanti Om’ in Japan without deleting certain scenes. Mr. Kumar had taken offence of scenes that were a spoof on him and a Court had ordered the said scenes to be deleted. Shah Rukh Khan and Eros are producers of the film.
Speaking about the issue, Mr. Kumar said, ‘The film was released in Japan without deleting those scenes. I had forgiven them twice but not this time. They have disrespected me. They also face contempt of court as in 2008 the court had asked them to forever and from all prints and broadcast material, delete those scenes,.. I would file civil and criminal proceedings against the producers (Shah Rukh Khan and Eros International) tomorrow for seeking damages to the tune of Rs. 100 crore for showing `Om Shanti Om` in Japan without removing objectionable scenes as ordered by Mumbai civil court in 2008.’
