On Monday, veteran actor Manoj Kumar will file a law suit against Shah Rukh Khan and Eros International, producers of 2007 hit Om Shanti Om, and seek damages to the tune of Rs100 crore for releasing the film in Japan without removing certain scenes apparently ridiculing him.

According to Manoj Kumar, the film was released in Japan without deleting those scenes. Even though he had forgiven them twice but not this time because they have disrespected him and they also face dishonor of court as in 2008 and that the court had asked them to forever and from all prints and broadcast material, delete those scenes.

Mr Kumar continued saying that he would file civil and criminal proceedings against the producers (Shah Rukh Khan and Eros International) tomorrow for seeking damages to the tune of Rs100 crore for showing Om Shanti Om in Japan without removing objectionable scenes as ordered by Mumbai civil court in 2008.

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

As a concluding fact, the veteran actor was upset with the spoof on him and had got a court order asking the objectionable scenes to be deleted before the satellite screening even though, Eros International did not respond to calls.
