Akshay Kumar got involved in another controversy after Samrat Prithviraj which was ought to be banned. A BJP member Subramanian Swamy filed a lawsuit against Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film ‘Ram Setu’. He is seeking compensation ‘for damages caused by falsification in portrayal of the Ram Setu issue in their film’. The leader is seeking to sue the film team for falsely portraying the issue of Ram Setu.
Earlier this month Subramanian Swamy tagged Karma Media who is producing a film on the mythological bridge. He wrote, “Contact us: Are you stealing the Ram Setu case as yours by morphing the Supreme Court Order that I got?” With this tweet it appears that Swamy was not contacted before making the film and now he wants to sue Karma Media and Akshay Kumar.

I am suing Akshay Kumar, actor & Karma Media for damages cause by falsification in portrayal of the Ram Setu issue in their film for release.” In another tweet, he wrote: “If Actor Akshay Kumar is a foreign citizen then we can ask he be arrested and evicted his adopted country.”
Makers did use Subramanian’s SC order as a poster of the film confirmed advocate Satya Sabharwal. He brought it to notice through Twitter, he wrote “A film based on Ram Setu has been produced by Karma Media, where Dr. Swamy’s SC Order has been used as a Poster. Will be filing a Suit.”
