Akshay Kumar has been afoul of the law for his upcoming movie Ram Setu. BJP leader Subramanian Swamy announced that he will file a lawsuit against the actor and the movie’s producers for “falsifying the portrayal of the Ram Setu issue” in the movie. The politician added that he planned to ask the producers for compensation.
“The suit for compensation has been finalised by my associate Satya Sabharwal Adv. I am suing Akshay Kumar, actor & Karma Media for damages caused by falsification in the portrayal of the Ram Setu issue in their film for release,” Swamy tweeted. “If actor Akshay Kumar is a foreign citizen then we can ask he be arrested and evicted from his adopted country,” he said in a follow-up tweet.
He also highlighted that the suit for compensation has been finalised by his associate. He even targeted the actor over his citizenship.
