  Manoj Kumar files lawsuit against Shah Rukh Khan

The actor's verification statement has been recorded and next date of hearing is april 6 . It maybe recalled here that Manoj Kumar had objected to defamatory scenes mocking him in Shah Rukh Khan's film Om Shanti Om in 2007.

The actor had apologised and promised to delete the scene but the film released in japan without deleting scenes to which Manoj Kumar has objected.

"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," "Manoj Kumar told PTI earlier.

Manoj kumar has evidence produced is the email from Shahrukh Khan where he has confessed an apology to Manoj Kumar that his mockery scene was played and apart from this Manoj Kumar would produce a cd as evidence which has the clipping of mockery scene.

'Om Shanti Om', a 2007 musical romcom had Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in the lead. It was produced by Shah Rukh Khan and Eros International and directed by Farah Khan.

However, recently when the film was released in Japan, Manoj Kumar was informed that the scene still exists. This made the legendary actor to open old wounds and take fresh action against the film makers. Today, he went ahead to file a criminal case against them in a court of Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate through his lawyer Ashok Sarogi.

Kumar sought registration of FIR against the duo for alleged offences such as criminal breach of trust, cheating, defamation and conspiracy. He also sought damages to the tune of Rs.100 crore for releasing the film in Japan without removing the scenes which makes spoof out of him.

On behalf of Manoj Kumar, Sarogi in a written complaint stated, "The complainant (Kumar) had been made to believe that the scene was deleted from the film. However, it was not deleted and accused (Khan and Farah) have made an attempt to gain cheap popularity and business for the film and made money out of it."

Requesting a proper probe into the case, Kumar has sought a thorough police investigation citing that the original negatives and electronic master prints are with the accused.

Adjourning the case till weekend, the magistrate today directed that a copy of the film, containing the allegedly objectionable scene, be produced in the court.
