Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri and Farah Khan summoned to court

Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan and Farah Khan have all been served a notice by a local court to be present themselves to the court on February 22nd , 2009, in connection with a petition filed against them by veteran actor, Manoj Kumar.

 

A defamation suit had been filed by veteran actor Manoj Kumar against these makers of the film ‘Om Shanti Om.’. He had objected to a character in the movie who bore a resemblance to him and was shown being beaten up by guards when he went to attend a movie premiere.

Kumar had said the portrayal had caused immense damage to his status and lowered his image among fans. The actor demanded a rupee as compensation money from the filmmakers, and said the objectionable scenes should be erased from CDs and DVDs.

Last month, the Andheri metropolitan magistrate issued summons to the three, asking them to be present in the court on Tuesday.But, they didn’t show up following which the magistrate issued the notices to them. Source
