HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | HAPPENINGS Manoj Kumar upset over spoof sequence in OSO17th Nov 2007 09.58 IST By Agencies Offended by a sequence in recently- released film Om Shanti Om , yesteryear actor Manoj Kumar is contemplating a legal action against the makers of the Shah Rukh Khan starrer movie, his lawyer said on Friday. "Manoj Kumar has been offended by a certain sequence in the film, and he asked me whether any legal action was possible," Kumar's lawyer Mukesh Vashi said. 
"However, I myself haven't seen the film. So, I would be able to advise him only after seeing it," Vashi added. Kumar told a TV channel that "Indian audiences had made Manoj Kumar into an icon ... that icon has been wounded, made fun of...a moral action is more important than a legal action." ‘Om Shanti Om’, released last week, is a spoof on Bollywood films of 70s, and shows a few real-life film characters from the Mumbai film world. Kumar is reportedly angry about a sequence in which he has been shown being thrashed by policemen outside a theatre. The sequence also makes fun of Manoj Kumar’s acting style in which he used put his hand on his face. In the movie, Khan's character steals Kumar's pass to enter a movie premiere, and police, not recognizing Kumar, beat him. Khan is also a co-producer of the movie, directed by Farah Khan .
