Yesterday, Salman Khan filed a defamation complaint in a Mumbai court against actor Kamaal R Khan or KRK. After the news broke, the Bigg Boss participant took to Twitter to say that Salman had filed the lawsuit against him for his recent review of Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. Now, Salman’s legal team has issued a statement saying that it is not the case.The statement on behalf of Salman Khan reads: "Kamaal R Khan has put out a series of tweets and videos alleging that Salman Khan has sued him for defamation because he reviewed the film, Radhe. This is incorrect. The suit has been filed as the defendant has been publishing and endorsing defamatory allegations, including that Salman Khan is corrupt, that he and his brand "Being Human" are involved in fraud, manipulation and money laundering transactions, that he and Salman Khan Films are dacoits.
The Defendant has been spreading malicious falsehoods and defaming Salman Khan consistently over several months, clearly with a view to draw attention to himself." Mr Khan's legal team also said that KRK's lawyer told a Mumbai court today that his client will not post any "remarks of defamatory nature" against the actor till the next court date.Previously, KRK had tweeted, “Salman Khan files a defamation case against me for Radhe’s review!" In a follow up tweet, he wrote, “I said so many times that I never review film of any producer, actor if he asks me to not review. Salman khan filed defamation case on me for review of #Radhe means he is getting too much affected by my review. Hence I won’t review his films anymore. My last video releasing today."Earlier this month, KRK shared a video after watching the first half of Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai at a theatre in Dubai and dramatically cried in mock fear of having to return inside after the interval. “Mera dimaag totally ghoom gaya hai (My head is spinning),” he said. He also tweeted after watching the entire film that he would need to ‘take medicine and rest for 2-3 hours’ before reviewing it. Directed by Prabhudeva, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai also features Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda and Jackie Shroff. Though it was largely panned by critics, it was streamed millions of times on the pay-per-view platform ZeePlex. This is not the first time that KRK has courted controversy. On several occasions, he has been in the news for calling out on various celebs.
