Mumbai, August 30: Ahead of Akshay Kumar-starrer Ram Setu's release, the film has landed in legal trouble. The entire team of the film has received legal notices from BJP leader Subramanian Swamy for 'distorting' facts in the forthcoming drama. The notice has been sent through Advocate Satya Sabharwal.
The issue of Ram Setu triggered a political issue after a petition from Swamy seeking to have ‘Ram Setu’ declared a national heritage monument by the Centre was reported in the media. In his legal notice, Swamy stated the reasons behind why he solely spearheaded Ram Setu's matter before courts. He further mentioned that if the upcoming drama is going to picturise court proceedings then he is bound to be recognised for the same with correct picturisation of original facts.
The petition filed by the leader has demanded that script/frames related to Ram Setu be shared with him to prevent any false presentation of any facts in the future. To amicably solve this issue, it demanded credit to the BJP leader for his contribution to the 'Ram Setu' case in the opening credits of the film.
Earlier, in a series of tweets on Twitter, the politician threatened to sue the entire team including Akshay Kumar. "If actor Akshay Kumar is a foreign citizen then we can ask he be arrested and evicted from his adopted country (sic)," he posted then.
The leader informed about it through a post on Twitter where he said how the cinema is in a habit of 'falsifying and misappropriation.' To teach them Intellectual Property Rights, Swamy sent notices to Akshay along with 8 others from the team.
The BJP leader sent a legal notice and accused Hindi cinema of being in a habit of falsely presenting the facts through their films. He wrote, "Mumbai cinema [or is it sin-e-ma] wallas have a bad habit of falsifying and misappropriation. Hence to teach them Intellectual Property Rights, I have through Satya Sabharwal Adv issued Legal Notice to Cine Actor Akshay Kumar(Bhatia) and 8 others for distorting Ram Setu saga."
