Akshay Kumar's film Ram Setu in legal trouble

Akshay Kumar-starrer Ram Setu, an action-adventure drama that follows an archaeologist investigating whether Ram Setu is a myth or reality, might be facing legal troubles.

BJP MP Subramanian Swamy has said that he will be suing the team of Ram Setu for 'falsification' of facts and 'infringement.'

Subramanian Swamy had tagged Karma Media, producing a separate film on the bridge, in a tweet earlier this month.

He wrote, "Contact us: Are you stealing the Ram Setu case as yours by morphing the Supreme Court Order that I got?" It appeared that he was not contacted by the makers as he recently took to his Twitter account to reveal that he is in the process of suing Karma Media as well as Akshay Kumar in connection with their two separate films on Ram Setu.

Akshay Kumar's film named Ram Setu is directed by Abhishek Sharma and co-produced by his company Cape of Good Films along with Amazon Prime Video, Abundantia Entertainment, and Lyca Productions. Karma Media's film Setu is directed by Vishal Chaturvedi and produced by Shailesh R Singh.

His associate Satya Sabharwal shared more details of their suit, claiming that Subramanian Swamy's SC order about Ram Setu has been used as a poster in the film by Karma Media.

In another tweet, the BJP MP said that his suit will also have infringement as one of the charges.

Akshay Kumar's Ram Setu also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Nushratt Bharuccha, and Satya Dev in pivotal roles. The film is expected to release on October 24 this year.
