Even before its release, Akshay Kumar starrer Ram Setu has landed in legal trouble. Recently, BJP leader Subramanian Swamy took to Twitter and accused the makers of ‘falsely portraying’ the Ram Setu issues in the movie. In his Tweet, Swamy mentioned that he will also be seeking compensation from the makers of the movie.
“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,” the tweet read.
