Manoj Kumar files case against SRK,Farah

Yesteryears actor Manoj Kumar Tuesday filed a criminal case against Shah Rukh Khan and choreographer-director Farah Khan in a local court for allegedly defaming him in their film Om Shanti Om. He sought registration of FIR for alleged offences such as criminal breach of trust,cheating,defamation and conspiracy.

The case dates back to 2007 when Om Shanti Om was released with a scene in which Khan had allegedly “mimicked” Kumar. Kumar had in 2008 filed a defamation suit but he withdrew it after Khan apologised and assured him the scene would be deleted.

Kumar,in the complaint on Tuesday in the court of Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate,said the movie was released recently in Japan after which he started getting calls saying it still contained the controversial scene.
