srk has injured my soul..MANOJ KUMAR

Hot on the heels of our sensational story about Sanjay Leela Bhansali blasting Shah Rukh Khan for trying to destroy 150 people [click here to read that story], comes even more sensational news…

Veteran Indian actor Manoj Kumar has been hurt by Shah Rukh Khan and feels that his soul has been injured. Talking to India Times, the Indian icon said, "I am hurt. Shah Rukh Khan has injured my soul. It's a conspiracy to humiliate and ridicule me. This is not filmmaking… My devotion to filmdom for the last 50 years has been insulted." Manoj Kumar is referring to a comedic scene in Om Shanti Om where a younge double of him is beaten by police.

"Are the Mumbai police so stupid that they can't recognise Manoj Kumar and lathicharge him in the '70s when he was a star? It doesn't stop there. Inside the theatre too, the scene continues in the same vein. At another place where Shah Rukh is shown giving a mock thank-you speech in a drunken state, he says he is Manoj Kumar…," Manoj Kumar continues.

"If it was for humour it was okay, but to do it like this showed bad taste," he added. "A junior artist told me he had played my double. About two months back when I met Farah Khan I told her that if she had asked me I would have gladly appeared in the film. But she said it was only a double to portray him in '70s scene for a film premiere. She was very respectful. She also said I looked lean and fit. I told her I was exercising. I even spoke to her husband."

Manoj Kumar has won two Filmfare Awards and most famous for his patriotic flicks, such as Kranti and Purab Aur Paschim. His Filmfare awards were for Beimaan (Best Actor) and Roti, Kapda Aur Makaan (Best Director) in 1972 and 1974 respectively.

Finishing of the interview, Manoj stated that although he has never celebrated a silver, gold, or diamond jubilee, he is not a man to keep quiet when someone is hitting below the belt. He also made it clear that he will sue Shah Rukh Khan for a clear-cut defamation and deliverate attempt of humiliation. "I am a peace-loving man. I don't like goondaism otherwise by now the film's banners and posters would have been torn," he said.

UPDATE: Shah Rukh Khan has apologised to Manoj Kumar. Today, after reading our article and other reports, Shah Rukh said, "I told him that I am extremely sorry for hurting your sentiments," Shah Rukh told mediapersons. "There was no intention to hurt anyone and as a producer of my film, Om Shanti Om, I overlooked this issue. I also apologised on behalf of my director, Farah Khan. I told him that I should have invited you to watch the movie and I am sorry I didn't."

What are your thoughts on this story… do you agree with Manoj Kumar and Sanjay Leela Bhansali… do you believe that Shah Rukh Khan has gone a little over the top in promoting Om Shanti Om… that Shah Rukh Khan should really not have said the stuff Bhansali is angry about and he should never have attempted to ridicule a Bollywood legend like Manoj Kumar? Should Manoj Kumar sue Shah Rukh Khan for the 'clear-cut defamation' of Manoj's character? Or do you believe that whatever Shah Rukh Khan has said or done is not 'below the belt' and Bhansali and Manoj Kumar are just venting out their angers?

Omg whts wrong with this man. Y can't he just chill. he wasn't the only one imitated in the film, there were other stars as well but they were professional enough to understand the motive behind it.
