SRK’s ‘Om Shanti Om’ was released
in November last year and was a blockbuster hit of 2007, but not
without its share of controversies. The film has some scenes with
a Cary catcher of the yesteryear superstar Manoj Kumar. Manoj
Kumar was really disappointed over the scenes and honoring his
sentiments, SRK and Farah Khan immediately extended the olive
branch to the patriotic superstar and the film went on to create
history in terms of box office collections.
But then Om Shanti Om got its release dates for satellite screening
which had retained Manoj Kumar’s scene. In response, the
veteran actor filed a case against the makers of Om Shanti Om
in the Mumbai Sessions Court, demanding either a stay on the satellite
screening or the deletion of the objectionable scenes.
Now the latest addition is that the court has announced its verdict
in favour of Manoj Kumar and has reserved the satellite telecasting
of the film on 10/08/08 till further orders. So, the film now
cannot be shown on any satellite channel without the deletion
of the objectionable scenes.
