Manoj Kumar wins his case against Farah & SRK
‘Om Shanti Om’ was released in November last year and was a blockbuster hit of 2007, but not without its share of controversies. The film has some scenes with a cariecatcher of the yesteryear superstar Manoj Kumar. Manoj Kumar was really upset over the scenes and honoring his sentiments, SRK and Farah Khan immediately extended the olive branch to the patriotic superstar and the film went on to create history in terms of B-O collections.
But then OSO got its release dates for satellite viewing which had retained Manoj Kumar’s scene. In response, the veteran actor filed a case against the makers of OSO in the Mumbai Sessions Court, demanding either a stay on the satellite screening or the deletion of the objectionable scenes.
Now the latest addition is that the court has announced its verdict in favour of Manoj Kumar and has restrained the satellite telecasting of the film on 10/08/08 till further orders. So, the film now cannot be shown on any satellite channel without the deletion of the objectionable scenes.
